buildFromSdist fails with Rust packages

[srid]

The haskell package set can contain non-Haskell packages, like Rust libraries. These are currently set using custom option (but see #285) for better way, which is applied as the last option, but before buildFromSdist. Thus, buildFromSdist (because it is enabled by default since #286) will evaluate on these non-Haskell packages as well.

shouldn’t making buildFromSdist = true a setting for packages local.toCurrentProject solve it?

Yup, that's what I was going to try next (see #291 (comment)). But the whole day instead was spent trying to find reliable internet connection 🙃
