Or perhaps if the package list page linked to the unversioned page then
google would always pick that link. The unversioned link always goes to
whatever is the latest version of a package, eg:

http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/syb-with-class
vs
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/syb-with-class-0.4
