each package predicate test introduces it's own distinct anonymous flag. The flags are introduced in order, top to bottom, left to right and appear after all other named flags.
I don't have strong opinions either way (I'd say the extra complexity wasn't worthwhile personally, but you've had more experience with writing cabal configurations), but one thing that occurs to me: are people likely to write things like this?: if (base >= 3.0) build-depends: pretty if (base >= 3.0) build-depends: containers [...] If so then we'll want to spot that and only invent a single flag, or the exponential number of combinations might become significant.
