Ah, that's good to know (shows my ignorance, but meh; now I can be more
comfortable using it and thus contributing to it.)

Yeah; when i've looked at some overlays, it's scared me if i see, eg glibc
or something in there. There's nothing to stop the maintainer forcing a dep
on an overlay version, eg via a named SLOT, or more simply by a slightly
advanced version. So I've held off using layman, and was only going to try
the haskell one.

I'd like to try eg, the pro-audio one, but iirc that required system
packages last time I looked. Having some sort of control over that, at the
package manager level, would be cool.

Thanks,
igli.
