Comment (by duncan):

 Now in the 0.6.x stable branch
 {{{
 Fri Jun  5 02:04:36 BST 2009  Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>
   * Only apply preferences to base if its version is unbounded above
   This is a backport to the cabal-install 0.6.x series. It relies
   on the VersionIntervals ADT which was added in Cabal-1.7.x, so
   that also had to be backported.
 }}}

 Could still do with some independent testing.
