        `nixpkgs.localSystem` will be used in an assertion
        to check that the NixOS and Nixpkgs architectures match. Any
        other options in `nixpkgs.*`, notably `config`,
        will be ignored.

        If unset, the pkgs argument to all NixOS modules is determined
        as shown in the default value for this option.

        The default value imports the Nixpkgs source files
        relative to the location of this NixOS module, because
        NixOS and Nixpkgs are distributed together for consistency,
        so the `nixos` in the default value is in fact a
        relative path. The `config`, `overlays`,
        `localSystem`, and `crossSystem` come
        from this option's siblings.

        This option can be used by applications like NixOps to increase
        the performance of evaluation, or to create packages that depend
        on a container that should be built with the exact same evaluation
        of Nixpkgs, for example. Applications like this should set
        their default value using `lib.mkDefault`, so
        user-provided configuration can override it without using
        `lib`.

        be an unexpected source of problems. Use this option with care.
