4 In some cases, it may be desirable to take advantage of
5 commonly-used, predefined configurations provided by nixpkgs, but
6 different from those that come as default. This is a role fulfilled

9 to say, expected usage is to add them to the imports list of your
10 <literal>/etc/configuration.nix</literal> as such:
