 Currently module in nixpkgs and the module in hydra will be maintained
separately. Eelco will deploy Hydra as it's always been and update
package/module in hydra.git, I'll port changes to nixpkgs.

We currently don't have a better way to deal with this. I'll see how it
goes, but the idea is Hydra repository should be self contained.
