Comment (by duncan):

 Yes it is a lib issue. The code to do these checks should be in the
 library and used in hackagedb and cabal-install.

 However I think the interpretation of some of the checks should be
 different in the hackage context than in a private build context. So
 something that might be a warning in cabal locally, like a missing build-
 type should be a fatal error for hackagedb.

 Perhaps we should improve sanityCheckPackage or add an extra
 qaCheckPackage that gives enough info for hackage and cabal to react
 differently.

 That one about version number parsing should be integrated into the cabal
 lib. It's ticket 194#.
