Although this statement might be a bit heretical on this list, I'll have to repeat myself again that Cabal, cabal-install, cabal-whatever will *never* be the right tool for the end user to install Haskell packages on platforms with their own packaging systems like RPM (the same holds for other systems, I just use RPM as an example here).
Does RPM, etc., deal with the fact that Haskell library installations
are specific to a particular platform?
If I install GHC and some library, and later install Hugs or a later
GHC, how easy is it to make sure the library is available to the new
installations?
