One: depend upon a repository rather than a package on hackage. You can list a tag on your github fork of an upstream package as a dependency until a new version is pushed to hackage. I don't think this works now, and it opens a can of worms about supported version control systems, archival availability of those repositories, and overall duplicates some amount of the decision making that already goes into hackage.
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-meta addresses "depend on a repository" decently.
