Replying to [comment:2 nomeata]:
> What if information from /var/lib/ghc-6.10.4/./package.conf would be
available even for yet-uninstalled distro packages, e.g. the complete
value of InstalledPackageInfo. Would the task them become handleable?
Yes. That would be more than sufficient. If that's easiest then fine,
otherwise the minimum required is the complete dependency graph of exact
package versions.
