Do you know of any prior art that does this? Having a package import files generated by cabal seems like it could cause problems.
Although Cabal's documentation only mentions 'getDataFileName' [1], the API states that the Paths module should "enable [the packages] to find their version number" [2]. So that's the intended use, even if not very well documented. Just remember to put the Paths in 'other-modules' [1].
