Should I fill a feature request ticket, or this is how it is supposed to work?

I would like to be able to do that, too. I also don't want cabal to recompile a thousand modules just for a demo program, and don't want to see hackage being polluted by thousands of foo-lib and foo-bin packages to circumvent the current behaviour, either.

That is, feel yourself seconded.

The existing ticket for this feature request is: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/89 The plan is to allow the executables to build-depend on the library. Duncan
