Then you can have ghc-pkg depend on Cabal and use that for the human-readable bits, but since that's a program then it doesn't expose the Cabal lib dependency.

Right, exactly. But we don't want to have 2 copies of the types, so could we move them into a Cabal-datatypes package which can be shared by both Cabal and GHC please? Thanks Ian
