exactly one version. Those versions need to satisfy all the version constraints
given in the `.cabal` file of your package and all its dependencies.
The Haskell builder in nixpkgs, (described in more detail in
[#haskell-mkderivation]), does no such thing. It will simply take as input

While this is the default behavior, it is possible to override the dependencies
