That is it -- certain situations trigger 0.14. into providing the extra information, but only for 0.14.0 AFAICT.
(I noticed the behaviour by switching between the old and new cabal while running prepare.sh.)

I think the change is correct and required in general. cabal-install-0.14.0 warns if there are reverse dependencies of reinstalled packages, because these might be broken after the installation process. If the set of potentially broken packages is non-empty, it implicitly adds -v, because without it, the user won't be able to see which packages are reinstalled. I'm sorry that this causes problems for you.
