Comment (by duncan):
I'm not clear as to why we need regexp matching. Seems to me we usually
want to ask about a specific package, or all packages, or very
occasionally about a specific list of packages.
Again, as far as Cabal is concerned I think it's simpler just to get all
info and then Cabal can ask whatever questions it wants without having to
come back and ask ghc-pkg repeatedly.
