Previously, calls to `overrideAttrs` applied to the wrapped `mkDerivation` call, and overriding calls to `buildRustPackage` thus wasn't possible.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This change would definitely make overrideAttrs more intuitive.
I wonder if it wouldn't be nicer to do this in make-rust-platform.nix. Doesn't destroy git blame and avoids having weird non-canonical formatting for Nix implementation details here.
Also, this would be an API change, since someone may rely on the existing behavior, so this change should be documented in the release notes.
