# All of the overrides in this set should look like:
#
# foo = ... something involving super.foo ...
#
# but that means that we add `foo` attribute even is there is no `super.foo`! So if
# you want to use this configuration for a package set that only contains a subset of
# the packages that have overrides defined here, you'll end up with a set that contains
# a bunch of attributes that trigger an evaluation error.
#
# To avoid this, we use `intersectAttrs` here so we never add packages that are not present
# in the parent package set (`super`).
