Kept the old hacks where they don't break the build in case they things
they fix are still relevant.
I checked that the upgrade doesn't break:
1) Asymptote and EProver builds.
2) My XeLaTeX demo from configurations/ repository.
3) Some of my own files.
The upgrade fixes problems with simultaneous use of 3D and LaTeX labels
in Asymptote.
Please provide a test that worked previously and is broken now if you
need to revert this update or its parts.
Wheezy has been released on June 15th and on all mirrors the SHA256 hash
of Packages.bz2 has changed to reflect the new release, so let's update.
Here is the release announcement from Debian:

It also seems that the versioning scheme has changed in version 7.x, so
they seem to have switched to a two digit versioning scheme. This means,
that the attribute name "debian70..." should really be something like
"debian7...", but I'm keeping the attribute as-is to not break
references.

This is needed in order to prevent services from starting while
populating the image with the contents of the .deb files. The procedure
used here is exactly the same as used in debootstrap.

9p (with caching enabled) is much faster than CIFS and doesn't require
Samba or virtual networking. For instance, building GNU Hello with
CIFS takes ~323s on my laptop, but with 9p it takes 54s.
More measurements will be needed to see if "cache=fscache" is really
faster than "cache=loose" (the former seems to be a little bit
faster).
This only ever worked because runInLinuxVM happened to call
overrideDerivation, which itself erroneously passed arbitrarily-added
attributes to the new call to derivation.
Hopefully this time Eelco won't have to revert my change ;)

The previous implementation used the following tying-the-knot trickery to
override 'doCheck' to false for the given build:
cabalNoTest = {
mkDerivation = x: rec {
final = self.cabal.mkDerivation (self: (x final) // { doCheck = false; });
}.final;
};
That seemed to work, but for some reason it caused trouble with some builds --
not all -- that use jailbreakCabal. The problem was the 'stdenv' attribute
couldn't be evaluated properly anymore:

infinite recursion encountered
I tried to figure out why this happens, but eventually gave up. The new
implementation passes an argument called 'enableCheckPhase' to the Cabal
builder, which determines whether the user-specified doCheck value has any
effect or not. Now, a normal override can be used to disable unit testing.
