I could; but what I want is to *extend*, rather than *replace* the
default.pa script; the native PulseAudio mechanism to do so is to put
files under '/etc/default.pa.d'. We could simply tell people to use
extra-special-file service to achieve that, but that's less discoverable
than having a convenient, documented field to do so :-).

'strip-store-file-name' would be able to get the name from the store item
(built derivation), but file-union takes a "two-element list where the
first element is the file name to use in the new directory, and the
second element is a gexp denoting the target file", e.g., before the
file-like object is built. I don't see an easy way to make it work.
Thanks,
Maxim
