I think it would be feasible to stop GHC itself from using the human

exclusively use the binary format.
I already needed the human readable format in order to check what
information a custom configure file generated.
You can use "ghc-pkg describe p" for that.
I don't think you should ever need the human readable format unless you
need to alter the package database by hand.
I think I also altered these package descriptions in order to check what
the correct content should be.
