When deploying Python service to staging using Nix, I want to disable
checks for that Python package. (Checks already happened in CI anyway.)
+Obvious question is *how*; obvious answer is *overrides*. Then, let me
+reformulate that obvious question a bit: *which one?*

+Giving up on the documentation, the [nixpkgs source][] is a bit helpful:
