How do you get a copy of cabal while making sure that somebody hasn't MITMed you and replaced the PGP key?

To establish a secure connection with haskell.org you'd have to get the certificate from the DNS, but that technology is not ready yet, so all you can do is check the key against as many sources as possible like Michael Walker said.

Because it doesn't solve the problem.
