Comment:
I'm a bit hesitant to add all these warnings and suggestions. For my
taste, cabal is often already too noisy.
So let's consider this situation: I think most people come into contact
with cabal first via {{{cabal install}}}. Compiling packages locally is
mainly interesting for developers. Can't we expect that package developers
will already know about {{{cabal install}}}?
As to the {{{--only-dependencies}}} flag. Perhaps I'm missing something,
but I think I've never actually used it. Why should it suggest running
that and not just suggest running {{{cabal install}}}?
