To solve this, I propose adding an option '--only-dependencies-of=TARGET' that would work like '--only-dependencies', but only remove TARGET from the install plan (see adjustOnlyDependencies in D.C.Install). This would make it possible to implement sandbox-build in the following fashion:

cabal install /path/to/add-source-dep-1 ... /path/to/add-source-dep-N --only-dependencies-of=. && cabal build
