I got it working and I want to share my approaches. I’m very sure that you can thin out a lot of things and write them more elegantly, but for me it’s runnable and has been stable for a long time now.
The proposed pkgs are in no way in a state I want to release, but I think if someone has the same problem this could be useful as a starting point. I might find the time to clean it up at a later date.
In my configuration.nix I activated my custom fprintd with:
services = {
fprintd = {
enable = true;
package = (nixpkgs-unstable.callPackage ../pkgs/fprintd.nix {});
};
};
Unfortunately I couldn’t get fprintd to run with a buildInputs override, so I copied the derivation from nixpkgs and added an altered libfprint-tod:
