Description

Setting programs.neovim.vimAlias = true in configuration.nix and using home manger to manage the user's vim installation via:

programs.nixvim = {
  enable = true;
  colorscheme.gruvbox.enable = true;
};

Causes the wrong lua to load from the nix store and vim cannot find gruvbox.

Minimal, Reproducible Example (MRE)

# Globally ...
programs.neovim = {
  enable = true;
  vimAlias = true;
};

# Per user ...
programs.nixvim = {
  enable = true;
  colorscheme.gruvbox.enable = true;
}

This probably isn't solvable unless we can somehow overright nixpkgs's neovim module but it should at least be called out in the documentation. Setting programs.nixvim.vimAlias = true works around the issue.
