Replying to [comment:2 duncan]:
> Perhaps as a diagnostic for the custom build type, cabal should check
that the registered package is actually consistent with the info in the
.cabal file.
Note that this would frequently flag up packages built using franchise
because it does not believe in specifying package deps. Rather it beleives
in discovering required modules and at configure time discovering which
packages provide those modules.
