We apply the patch from Debian, which can be seen here:
af0077708b/debian/patches/0005-fix-ftbfs.patch
Before figuring out that Debian already has the patch, I prepared the
patch myself and ended up with basically the same changes.
After final improvements to the official formatter implementation,
this commit now performs the first treewide reformat of Nix files using it.
This is part of the implementation of RFC 166.
Only "inactive" files are reformatted, meaning only files that
aren't being touched by any PR with activity in the past 2 months.
This is to avoid conflicts for PRs that might soon be merged.
Later we can do a full treewide reformat to get the rest,
which should not cause as many conflicts.
A CI check has already been running for some time to ensure that new and
already-formatted files are formatted, so the files being reformatted here
should also stay formatted.
This commit was automatically created and can be verified using

GNU sed's man page has this to say about "-i":
Because -i takes an optional argument, it should not be followed by
other short options:
[..]
sed -iE '...' FILE
This is equivalent to --in-place=E, creating FILEE as backup of FILE
This means all "-iX" did not have the intended effect X, so we can
instead remove them.
We are migrating packages that meet below requirements:
1. using `callPackage`
2. called path is a directory
3. overriding set is empty (`{ }`)
4. not containing path expressions other than relative path (to
makenixpkgs-vet happy)
5. not referenced by nix files outside of the directory, other
than`pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix`
6. not referencing nix files outside of the directory
7. not referencing `default.nix` (since it's changed to `package.nix`)
8. `outPath` doesn't change after migration
