Summary: Previously, the full database stack was used for ghc-pkg to modify packages, which meant that commands like 'ghc-pkg unregister --user' worked the same as 'ghc-pkg unregister'. Since package modification is a "read and write" operation, we should use the flag db stack (which is currently used for reads) to determine which database to update. There is also a new flag --user-package-db, which lets you explicitly set the user database (as seen by --user). This was mostly added to aid in testing, but could be useful for end users as well.
