I'm not sure it's unclear.  The problem is that the 00-index and the
package now may contain different .cabal files for the same version of
the package.  This is a feature that apparently has been in the works
for a while, but I wasn't aware of it until it bit me during an update
yesterday (pandoc 1.13.1 is in this state on Hackage).

Cblrepo is written with the assumption that the 00-index and the
source tar-ball on Hackage *always* contain the same .cabal.  So it
clearly needs some work before it's back to being usable again.

Goto labels should be left-aligned in all caps and should include the
programmer's name, home phone number, and credit card number.
