Well, I'd like to split up the "get all the information we need" bit from the individual commands. That would perhaps make it easier to validate things like "does GHC_PACKAGE_PATH [or whatever] point at an existing directory" in a consistent manner across all commands and thus hopefully provide better feedback for broken setups/environments. (I also tend to find it good "hygiene" to split things up this way, but that's perhaps more a matter of taste.) See e.g. the issue I pointed to: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/2381 (I don't think a full solution is possible at this time due to the fact that the env variables are only retrieved in the "exec" subcommand).
