In addition to not including those patches to build OpenSSH against systemd, Nixpkgs builds liblzma from the GitHub snapshots, not the dist tarballs, so the source Nixpkgs builds from never contained the malicious m4 scripts that actually inject the backdoor code in the liblzma binaries. Plus those scripts explicitly and exclusively target DEB and RPM builds, so they wouldn't have run on Nix or Arch builds.
