I came this commit hash to terwiz[m] on IRC, who is trying to figure out
what the last version of Spectrum that worked on their NUC with Nvidia
graphics is.

+        Some NixOS packages provide debug symbols. However, these are
+        not included in the system closure by default to save disk
+        space. Enabling this option causes the debug symbols to appear
+        in <filename>/run/current-system/sw/lib/debug/.build-id</filename>,
+        where tools such as <command>gdb</command> can find them.
+        If you need debug symbols for a package that doesn't
+        provide them by default, you can enable them as follows:
+        <programlisting>
+        nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = pkgs: {
+          hello = pkgs.hello.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: {
+            separateDebugInfo = true;
+          });
+        };
+        </programlisting>
+      '';
+    };
+
+  };
+
+

+
+    # FIXME: currently disabled because /lib is already in
+    # environment.pathsToLink, and we can't have both.
+    #environment.pathsToLink = [ "/lib/debug/.build-id" ];
+
+    environment.extraOutputsToInstall = [ "debug" ];
+
+    environment.variables.NIX_DEBUG_INFO_DIRS = [ "/run/current-system/sw/lib/debug" ];
