Comment (by claus):
Thanks, that works! But since `Paths_p` was generated behind my back, it
seems odd that I have to list it myself, especially since a non-empty
`data-files` field makes no sense at all without it (no dependency chasing
needed for this one).
I'd suggest to (a) mention this in the user guide and (b) add
`Paths_package` implicitly if the cabal file has `data-files` (not much
sense giving an error message if the fix is uniquely determined).
Btw, having `--prefix` not apply to all dirs is very counter-intuitive.
