Here's one caveat: haskell-names cannot use ghc's interface files to get
information about installed modules. Instead, it maintains its own
interface files. Which means that you'll have to install separately all
packages that you need to access using the hs-gen-iface compiler, as
described in the README.  Additionally, not all packages that can be
compiled by ghc can be compiled by haskell-names yet.

It's up to you and other ghc-mod users to decide whether this is
acceptable.

So if I use the branch of Cabal [1] then the local database file

$HOME/.cabal/share/x86_64-linux-ghc-7.6.3/haskell-names-0.3.2.2/libraries/packages.db

will be updated automatically?

What packages are currently known to have problems with haskell-names?
