Rebuilt tlcontrib.nix to match the changes to tl2nix.sed included in texlivePackages (i.e. include short package descriptions).

If you mean something like .overrideScope , no, texlivePackages is still a disappointingly flat attribute set. I have yet to figure out a sensible way to make binaries and TeX Live packages coexist in the same scope.
