Describe the bug

According to @jian-lin the trivialBuild function has some problems that make it a bad fit for Emacs ecosystem in Nixpkgs.

In packages made via trivialBuild:

• The builtin package manager package.el will not activate it at the Emacs' startup
  • autoloaded commands does not work out-of-the-box, requiring bolierplate code like (require 'foo-autoloads)
  • info manual becomes inaccessible viaM-x info
• its package dir is not searched by Emacs
• it does not contain a foo-pkg.el file
