Sometimes <varname>emacsWithPackages</varname> is not enough, as
this package set has some priorities imposed on packages (with
the lowest priority assigned to Melpa Unstable, and the highest for
packages manually defined in
<filename>pkgs/top-level/emacs-packages.nix</filename>). But you
can't control this priorities when some package is installed as a
dependency. You can override it on per-package-basis, providing all
the required dependencies manually - but it's tedious and there is
always a possibility that an unwanted dependency will sneak in
through some other package. To completely override such a package
you can use <varname>overrideScope</varname>.
