Well, this one looks like it was my fault because I never read this thread and this morning I uploaded that package (abstract-deque) with the conditional in the test-suite. The reason this conditional isn't there now is that the package was hacked in place to remove tests, which is fine. Actually, as a maintainer I'm not really clear on how to test this behavior. I tried "cabal configure" with cabal-install-0.10.2 as in the original post and I couldn't reproduce the problem.
For the record, abstract-deque was neither one of the packages fixed previously, nor does its .cabal file even contain a test section at all, much less one with a conditional. So if cabal-install-0.10 is failing to read it, it is because of some different problem. But I agree with Bryan in principle that we need a more principled approach.
