Comment:

 This is fixed in Cabal-1.8.

 However so that we do not break all the old packages that accidentally
 depend on this bug, the fixed behaviour is only enabled if your package
 specifies `cabal-version: >= 1.8`.

 It is unfortunate that we have to conditionally enable this behaviour.
 Because the bug was around for so long many packages accidentally depend
 on it. Indeed gf-3.1.6 itself needs fixing! The lib part depends on pretty
 but does not say so. It's picking it up because it's specified for the gf
 executable.
