Comment (by guest):

 I was under the impression we'd agreed that package names are case
 insensitive, but that doesn't seem to be written in the obvious place in
 the Cabal docs. Anyway, I think that foo-1.0 in one hackage and FOO-2.0 in
 another should be taken to be different versions of the same package.
