Building with Nix Fails with "attribute 'package' missing" #460

I am trying to install Paperback on my BT Braille 40 to test it out, running a modified version of Raspberry Pi OS based on Debian 12. I figured Nix would be a good way to build it because I would get the latest versions of all dependencies. I installed Nix with the Determinate Systems Nix installer, but when I ran "nix build" from the repository, or "nix profile install", the build failed with "error: attribute 'package' missing". It seems to expect a package attribute next to pname and version inside of pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation.
