Comment:
Sources aren't enough for most uses - you also need the .cabal file, and
you might also need other package bits. In short, you really need the
whole Cabal sdist to make any sense of the sources.
Perhaps the right thing is to include the URL from which you can download
the package sources? cabal-install could automatically set the field, for
example.
