I got part of the way:
$ sudo aptitude install buildbot
[...]
$ sudo -u buildbot -H ~/.cabal/bin/cabal update
Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
$ sudo -u buildbot -H ~/.cabal/bin/cabal install cabal-install
Resolving dependencies...
Downloading cabal-install-0.6.2...
Configuring cabal-install-0.6.2...
Preprocessing executables for cabal-install-0.6.2...
Building cabal-install-0.6.2...
[...]
Unfortunately I can't work out how to make .cabal/bin/cabal visible to
buildbot without resorting to chsh:
$ sudo -u buildbot which cabal
$ sudo -u buildbot ln -s .cabal/bin ~buildbot/.bin
$ sudo -u buildbot which cabal
$ sudo -u buildbot env | grep PATH
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
