[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#743460: Bug#743460: cabal-install: New upstream version available

[Alex Rozenshteyn]

Ah. I had been wondering why it hadn't made it into unstable, despite being
released. That makes sense.

I think a libghc-cabal-dev package is a good idea, since cabal's update
cycle is faster than GHC's, but it does seem like it might have problems.

I'd be glad to test it out, if you do decide to take that route.

Thanks.
