For HackageDB, I think the appropriate thing would be for Cabal to use ghc-pkg to get the haddock-interfaces field (instead of asking haddock to ask ghc-pkg for it), but for the user to be able to override the HTML URL at configure time.

Another reason for Cabal to call ghc-pkg instead of asking haddock to is to ensure that it is the same ghc-pkg that we specified to Cabal, rather than the one haddock plucks out of the environment.
