Description
In https://github.com/cdepillabout/stacklock2nix/pull/12, I introduced a way for stacklock2nix to generate a completely new package set. Part of this includes creating an overlay that has the GHC boot packages set to null:

I think this overlay could likely be defined automatically, without it having to be hard-coded. Here's a function from Nixpkgs doing something similar:
