Describe the bug

The substituters specified in the nixConfig.extra-substituters attribute of the flake are simply ignored. Keep in mind that it could be that the extra-substituters option is ignored altogether (I haven't tested that), and not just in flakes. The path is for sure not missing from the cache, 1. because I checked it, 2. because the nixpkgs versions of Nix/Lix fetch it correctly.

Steps To Reproduce

Dry build something that is cached in the flake's binary cache (eg. nix build --accept-flake-config --dry-run github:diniamo/niqspkgs#coreutils-full-patched).
Notice that lix is trying to build some derivations, instead of fetching them.

Expected behavior

The derivation is downloaded from the cache.

`nix --version` output / additional context

After bisecting, 4dbbd721eb is the first bad commit.
