For me, the largest problem with the current system is one that Simon mentioned under his third point. While I may know what to expect from a module named "Control.Functor.Pointed", I have no idea what package to import to get that functionality.* This situation is worse in the cases of multiple packages providing the same modules, such as transformers and mtl.
Please file a ticket for the cabal program. It's a perfect place to stick this feature. ghc-pkg already does it for packages that are registered but cabal could do it for all of hackage. http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ Duncan
