Running nixpkgs-review has gotten stuck building openmoji. (Is there a build timeout feature?) But it appears there's 118 failures. We should sort through to figure out which if any of these are new and which are existing.

Here's an abridged error log: https://gist.github.com/samuela/f4dad8455762fe70ef44044140081814

In order to make this more manageable to run nixpkgs-review, I think it'd be simpler if we did separate, smaller PRs for each commit. Is there a reason these changes need to be in a single PR?

I am lazy and normally no one takes a look anyway.

That is 100% pre existing and unrelated to my changes.
