 If the upstream source is missing a `pubspec.lock` file, you'll have to vendor one and specify it using `pubspecLockFile`. If it is needed, one will be generated for you and printed when attempting to build the derivation.
 
+The `depsListFile` must always be provided when packaging in Nixpkgs. It will be generated and printed if the derivation is attempted to be built without one. Alternatively, `autoDepsList` may be set to `true` only when outside of Nixpkgs, as it relies on import-from-derivation.

 The `dart` commands run can be overridden through `pubGetScript` and `dartCompileCommand`, you can also add flags using `dartCompileFlags` or `dartJitFlags`.
 
 Dart supports multiple [outputs types](https://dart.dev/tools/dart-compile#types-of-output), you can choose between them using `dartOutputType` (defaults to `exe`). If you want to override the binaries path or the source path they come from, you can use `dartEntryPoints`. Outputs that require a runtime will automatically be wrapped with the relevant runtime (`dartaotruntime` for `aot-snapshot`, `dart run` for `jit-snapshot` and `kernel`, `node` for `js`), this can be overridden through `dartRuntimeCommand`.
