 The `--package-db` flag is used to look for installed packages when
 building packages, however it does not get used when trying to build a
 custom `Setup.hs` file. It should be.

 It's handy to be able to use a completely separate package db to be able
 to say test multiple versions of the Cabal lib and cabal-install
 separately but in parallel.
