This use case makes little sense for files that are already in the store.
This should be a separate abstraction as e.g. `pkgs.drvLayout` instead, which could have a similar interface but be specific to derivations.
Additional capabilities could be supported that can't be done at evaluation time, such as renaming files, creating new directories, setting executable bits, etc.

because it's not limited to just what is possible at evaluation time with `builtins.path`.
Operations such as moving and adding files would be supported.
