Could you stick to the standard way of writing packages? That is,
{ stdenv, fetchurl }:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "libmodplug-0.8.8.4";
src = fetchurl { ... };
meta = ...;
}
That style is easier to read, shorter, uses fewer strange idioms
(‘helperArgNames’?), is better documented, and easier to maintain by
others (because it is the standard notation).
The purported advantage of builderDefs (making it easier to customise
build phases etc.) I haven't really seen in practice — stdenv's
setup.sh has plenty of customisation mechanisms.
