If you're going to recommend trying not to depend on <nixpkgs> for hermetic builds, I did notice that nix-shell still depends on it to find bash (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/27493). Should NIX_BUILD_SHELL also be set for those cases?

(pre-commits started to fail after setting skip_adding_nixpkgs_channel in install-nix-action).
