Comment (by NeilMitchell):
I think I understand the kind of things Claus wants to do (since I want to
do similar things), but I think Simon is right. A package has little
relation to the source code that built it - a package is related to the
cabal tarball and configuration.
One thing I (and Tim as well) want GHC to include with all packages is the
External Core files. We are going to file a separate ticket aiming for
6.12, but it has a similar feel of maintaining additional information with
a package, beyond that needed for compilation - so maybe these things need
considering together.
