To avoid stating these all over again: http://ivanmiljenovic.wordpress.com/2010/03/15/repeat-after-me-cabal-is- not-a-package-manager/ (specifically the section titled "Why you should use your distribution’s package management system").

Fair enough, Cabal/Hackage/cabal-install certainly isn't a package manager (good that I never claimed it was :), I just use it to manage my Haskell source packages; no, I won't stop doing that, I'm not going to switch distros, I like SuSE, I didn't like Ubuntu or sidux, I might give Gentoo a try when I buy my next computer, though). However, I wanted to know what the etc stood for, with taking care of dependencies and uninstalling already mentioned. Upgrading, yes, but what else?
