However QuickCheck seems to be a case where people now expect to use QC-2, but old packages that don't specify a version typically only work with QC-1.x.

Can't we just fix those .cabal files?

We can certainly ask maintainers to specify the QC dependency properly when they next upload. We do not yet have a mechanism to update .cabal file dependencies on hackage after a package has been uploaded, though we have been pondering adding such a facility for a while. Duncan
