Since I started touching this subsystem, I found the name confusing
since this is the part where we actually compile the kernel and we have
a ready-to-use configuration.
The stated goal of the commit introducing it[1] is to provide a function
to
> make it possible to build a kernel with a user provided .config.
Considering that this is supposed to be a differentiation from other
build mechanisms and nowadays this is the only way to build kernels in
nixpkgs, I figured that `build.nix` is a better name.
`pkgs.linuxManualConfig` isn't renamed on purpose: Kloenk and I are
planning to do more involved work and it may become necessary to change
parts of the API. So asking users to do a migration now just to add
another one soon isn't worth it.

The `ugrep+` and `ug+` commands are the same as the
`ugrep` and `ug` commands, but also use filters to
search PDFs, documents, e-books, image metadata,
when these filter tools are present:
- pdftotext
- antiword
- pandoc
- exiftool
`ugrep+` and `ug+` can now be wrapped to make those
utils accessible without the need for users to clutter
their environments through installing them. This is
opt-in with the `wrapWithFilterUtils` flag since these
packages grow the closure size massively.
A `createGrepReplacementLinks` flag was also added to
optionally create symlinks to serve as `gnugrep` drop-in
replacements. This works just like with `coreutils`. We
ensure that these variants beat `gnugrep`'s priority value
so `ugrep` wins when building `system-path` with `buildEnv`.
As of systemd 258 adb and fastboot connections are handled by a built-in
uaccess rule, so a dedicated package with hardcoded ID-based udev rules
is no longer needed.
Drop the android-udev-rules package and related mentions of the adbusers
group, which is also no longer used.
The base windowing integration for Wayland lives in qtbase now,
and qtwayland only provides libadwaita decorations, which are
only relevant on GNOME-likes without server-side decoration support,
and should probably be installed by the appropriate modules.
