Description

It could be interesting to do a multiple outputs derivation instead of this, so that they would result in different store paths.

What would be the benefits, beyond aesthetics?

Research direction

Read build-dapp-packge.nix and the surrounding build configuration first, then review how the current derivation produces store paths. Compare that approach with multi-output derivations, focusing on practical benefits beyond aesthetics; done means the trade-offs and a concrete recommendation are documented.
