  * summary:  Report bugs via cabal-install => cabal-install should list
              bug reporting url for packages

Comment:

 I very much doubt that we'll ever be able to construct a standard API for
 reporting bugs. However packages can and should specify a `bug-reports:
 $url` field in their .cabal files. This should be either an email address
 or a http url to an online bug tracker.

 We should make `cabal list` display the bug report url if any was given.
 Perhaps we should split the `cabal list` command into `cabal list` and
 `cabal info` to give more detailed info on a specific package.
