Seconded. This would have been very useful to me many times.
I tried forwarding this to cabal-devel@haskell.org (Cabal development
discussion), but it's a members-only list. Can someone in the in-crowd
pass along the suggestion?
Thanks,
Tom

Please add an automated uninstall option for Cabal packages. It's a pain to remove them manually, and the user expectation based on other package managers (Gem, Aptitude, MacPorts, Homebrew, Yum, Emerge) is that "cabal uninstall"/"cabal remove" does the intuitive thing: remove packages and their dependencies.
