Comment(by simonmar):
There does seem to be a separate bug that manifests on Linux, but it seems
to be gone with the latest Cabal. It only happens if I use a `cabal`
built against `Cabal-0.10` to build a package with GHC 7.2 or later (or
equivalently compile `Setup.hs` against `Cabal-0.10`). Then this happens:
{{{

--force to override)
}}}
Since that bug appears to be fixed now, I'm not going to worry about it
(but we do need to make sure `cabal` can be built with 7.2 and later,
which currently does not seem to be the case).
