It's so embarrassingly simple... I extract the changes from the new
.cabal into a patch on the source level.  Specifically, I extract the
changed .cabal for pandoc, which only existed in the index file, and
put the changes into `patches/pandoc.source`, then I can remove
`patches/pandoc.cabal`.

It's not a very good long-term solution, but it makes it workable
until I have finished refactoring `cblrepo` so it can deal with the
situation more intelligently.

write code that humans can understand.
