If only the one application is using it, then don't give it its own stack
file, just move it into your project folder. Stack is well designed to
handle "megarepos" with multiple packages under a single stack.yaml in this
manner.
project/
stack.yaml
lib1/
lib1.cabal
app1/
app1.cabal
Stack should also handle things the way you're trying to do it, but I
personally have no experience doing it that way; perhaps someone else can
advise on that scenario.
