Not sure this should still be here

I mainly use pkgs for debugging haskell.nix issues, by running things like:
nix-build -E '(import ./. {}).pkgs.haskell-nix.tool "ghc8103" "hello" "latest"'
I wanted to be able to continue to do this now I have upgraded to BigSur.

Actually, now that I look at this, it's a bit weird that pkgs is there too. I get that these are useful for debugging... but surely our users shouldn't be using these attributes?

I wonder if we should rename them debug and debug-unstable to make that clear.

Or add debug.nix with attributes useful for debugging? The problem is the dual duty of default.nix as the place for all useful attributes and also our de-facto external interface.
