This solves the problem of e.g. mutt not finding mail unless the user
sets MAIL=/var/spool/mail/$USER.
The default MAIL variable seems come from bash. Reasons for adding
symlink instead of changing MAIL default in bash:
- No need to rebuild world
- FHS recommends /var/mail over /var/spool/mail anyway[1]. Better fix
NixOS mail location than change MAIL in bash to something that doesn't
work on non-NixOS (however unlikely that users run nixpkgs bash on a
non-NixOS distro...).

It randomly crashes
Kernel panic - not syncing: assertion "i && sym_get_cam_status(cp->cmd) == DID_SOFT_ERROR" failed: file "/tmp/nix-build-linux-3.14.43.drv-0/linux-3.14.43/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2/sym_hipd.c", line 3399
Rumour has it this is fixed in newer versions of QEMU or the kernel,
so I'm only disabling it on the 14.12 branch.

Producing output makes it hard to restart builds that failed for
intermittent reasons (like timeouts). So let's not do that.

This commit eliminates a patch which hard-coded an example configuration file as the program's default settings and prevented the program from reading a user's configuration file.

Had to add file type logic in debClosureGenerator because Packages.bz2
is not available for Jessie - only Packages.xz is.

The (dynamically generated) compressed archive has changed. Switch from
fetchurl to fetchzip to not get bitten by that again.

A buildInput was missing to get the right schemas path.
The symptoms of the issue this fixes are:
** (WebKitWebProcess:): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files

The man page for ssh-keygen(1) has a section "MODULI GENERATION" that describes
how to generate your own moduli file. The following script might also be helpful:
| #! /usr/bin/env bash
|
| moduliFiles=()
|
| generateModuli()
| {
| ssh-keygen -G "moduli-$1.candidates" -b "$1"
| ssh-keygen -T "moduli-$1" -f "moduli-$1.candidates"
| rm "moduli-$1.candidates"
| }
|
| for (( i=0 ; i <= 16 ; ++i )); do
| let bitSize="2048 + i * 128"
| generateModuli "$bitSize" &
| moduliFiles+=( "moduli-$bitSize" )
| done
| wait
|
| echo >moduli "# Time Type Tests Tries Size Generator Modulus"
| cat >>moduli "${moduliFiles[@]}"
| rm "${moduliFiles[@]}"
Note that generating moduli takes a long time, i.e. several hours on a fast
machine!
