Derivations are not packages.=C2=A0 The derivation for =E2=80=9Chell= o=E2=80=9D says that it
needs /gnu/store/=E2=80=A6-linux-libre-headers-4.4.18.drv, which in tu= rn says
that it needs the derivation to download the linux-libre tarball.

(I=E2=80=99m still traveling, so I cannot check the tarballs right now.)
