 Sometimes `emacs.pkgs.withPackages` is not enough, as this package set has some priorities imposed on packages (with the lowest priority assigned to GNU-devel ELPA, and the highest for packages manually defined in `pkgs/applications/editors/emacs/elisp-packages/manual-packages`). But you can't control these priorities when some package is installed as a dependency. You can override it on a 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 `overrideScope`.
