A snapshot of your build folder. Not even the sources. This is my other problem with mainstream Distros. Extending them is completely opaque. NixOS is source based and anything and everything can be updated by the user. Need some patch from kernel ML? 1 line of code. Need a Bugfix in your IDE that hasn't landed in a release? 1 line of code.

There is no distinction between package maintainers and end users. They have the same power.

In the meantime i dont expect Debian users to ever write a package themselves or to modify one.

In nixOS you do it all the time
