#284: Cannot upload packages that require specific cabal versions

--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
I have a package that requires a custom Setup.lhs.The package works for
ghc 6.8.x and 6.6.x and, thus, the Setup.lhs script was designed to work
with Cabal 1.2.x, the one that comes with ghc 6.8.x. This is clearly
indicated in the cabal-version field. However, if I try to upload this
package to hackage I get this error:
{{{
hint-0.2.0.1/hint.cabal: This package requires Cabal version: >=1.2&&<1.3
}}}
As a workaround I used cabal-version: >= 1.2 but now, although the
description explicitly says that it works with ghc 6.8.x, hackage
indicates that it fails to build.
