For derivations that wrap things in nixpkgs itself -- for instance, the NixOS manual and the Nixpkgs manual -- the rule that paths are found only in the by-name directory itself is too restrictive. It's a good default, but there should be an opt-out mechanism.

I ran into this implementing NixOS/nixpkgs#311459.
