        The deprecated package you're thinking of is cabal-get or
        cabal-setup.

    Will Hackage one day provide a way to discover that one package
    has been superceeded by another?

    Currently you can see when a newer version of the exact same
    package exists, but (for example) take a took at how many
    gazillion database packages there are up there. Which ones are
    active? Which ones are obsolete? How can I tell??


This has come up before.  As you can see here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/46764

I think we just need someone (how about you!?) to start working on it.

What do I need to do? Just obtain the Hackage source code and submit a Darcs patch or something? Or is it harder than that?
