The Cabal package provides the library. The cabal-install package provides the 'cabal' command line tool.
The deprecated package you're thinking of is cabal-get or cabal-setup.
Will Hackage one day provide a way to discover that one package has been superceeded by another?
Currently you can see when a newer version of the exact same package exists, but (for example) take a took at how many gazillion database packages there are up there. Which ones are active? Which ones are obsolete? How can I tell??
This has come up before. As you can see here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/46764 I think we just need someone (how about you!?) to start working on it. Thanks, Jason
