Second paragraph:
"See
[http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Cabal/How_to_install_a_Cabal_package
How to install a Cabal package] for instructions on installing the
packages you find here. There is also an experimental command-line tool
that makes this easier."
The linked page tells you to check if there's a distro package available
and if not to use cabal-install. Given that and the fact that cabal-
install is shipped with the Platform, we can safely say it's not
experimental anymore. The simplest solution is to scrap the second
sentence. Or, we could copy some piece of the wiki page over.
