Fixes #43015 for me and hopefully also similar issues.
== Resource consumption ==
TL;DR: no change for small-memory cases, less CPU for large-memory cases.
I assume almost all of the large memory usage is just the expression
evaluation and managed by the GC, so I used just `nix-env -q...` to test.
Old and new lines for each command follow. I tried to run each several
times, but the values were very stable (<1% difference on re-runs),
so only one line for each command-version pair is provided.

* muse: init at version 3.0.2
Added MusE; an application for working with midi. Allowing recording
from midi instruments, playback and editing of midi files.
* muse: remove unnecessary dependencies
-builds and works just fine without listing these
* Use fetchFromGitHub and add sha256
The deep merge caused all the options to be unset when generating docs, unless quagga was enabled.
Using imports, instead, properly allows the documentation to be generated.
