stdenv.mkDerivation falls back to pname
Nix does, not stdenv.mkDerivation. If meta.mainProgram
is not set, it is not set.
There is a difference between not knowing the main program where with nix run
its reasonable to make an assumption, and other cases where it may not be reasonable to do so.
cabal2nix
may even not emit a mainProgram
binding if an executable of the same name exists, indicating that it was not able to determine for sure that that executable is the main one.
Consequently, I don't see a reason to change this.
