However, the problem with hackage not being able to build the package, and therefore generate documentation, remains. So conversely my question would be if there is any way to get around this?
In the short term I'm afraid not. The plan is to eventually let users upload the documentation (after building it on their own machines).
Another option would be to add a configuration flag in the cabal file that would disable compiling the library-dependent code (probably through CPP). The only problem with that is that it needs to be enabled by default (since we don't know whether we're building on hackage or not) and needs to be explicitly disabled by normal users. Unfortunately, cabal cannot automatically set the flag depending on whether the library is installed or not. I wrote about it in June (and got no response): http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cabal-devel/2012-June/008908.html Roman
