Saluton, I have openoffice-2.4 in nixos working well, but I think my system downloaded a compiled version when I installed it. In nix-debian, nix started the build, and didn't work. If I can't get openoffice.org-2.4.1 building in the single machine I have with enough disk space, I have to choose: use Mark's machine, or fix the openoffice.org expression for non-nixos.
Ludo, you described my usual first attempts at upgrading packages. :) But I don't know about "feedback from the build farm".
