But don't you think that being able to specify the package.conf is also a good idea? You'd have to add a corresponding option to 'configure' to let it look for packages in this new database but it should be even easier than what you describe below, and would have other uses...

There's no way to do this yet. The plan is to allow sections in a single package to depend on each-other as in WASH, and for cabal to handle the "local" package.conf business. This feature has the highest priority, and shouldn't be too hard, but is not yet implemented.
