Currently, GHC and the Cabal package are shipped together, with the ghc package providing haskell-cabal. It would be better if they were separate so that Cabal could be upgraded through the AUR separately from GHC.
This task depends upon

Is it a problem currently? ghc has this:

provides="haskell-cabal=1.8.0.2"
replaces="haskell-cabal<1.8.0.2"


You can just install a newer cabal, cannot you?
