Hi there. I've pushed an experimental quick fix to
https://github.com/kosmikus/cabal/tree/defer-flags I've briefly verified that it seems to fix the aeson issue mentioned in https://github.com/kosmikus/cabal/tree/defer-flags and one other test case I had lying around, but I haven't tested anything else. This change needs much more testing and experimentation. But if you'd like to try it, I'd welcome feedback on whether it at least solves a few concrete instances of this problem.
