The cabal file should be compact, and quite often the description field is very lengthy. I would like it alot if I could reference a README.??? (pandoc compatible extension) from cabal. Then it would be compatible with github and give me more information in my haddock html pages which were generated by `cabal haddock`.
To this end I sometimes wrote a dummy module containing more documentation. In the Cabal description file I refer to this module with a quotation like "Module". This way, I can even organize the documentation in chapters. I added DEPRECATED pragmas to these modules, in order to prevent people from importing them.
