Comment:

 Here's what I'm getting with the modular solver (I have to explicitly
 disable backtracking, otherwise it'll actually find a solution):
 {{{
 $ cabal install snap-core-0.7 --max-backjumps=0 --dry-run
 Resolving dependencies...
 cabal: Could not resolve dependencies:
 next goal: snap-core (user goal)
 rejecting: snap-core-0.8.0.1, 0.8.0, 0.7.0.1 (global constraint requires
 ==0.7)

 rejecting: deepseq-1.1.0.0 (conflict: array==0.4.0.0/installed-0b3...,
 deepseq => array>=0.2 && <0.4)
 rejecting: deepseq-1.0.0.0 (conflict: snap-core => deepseq>=1.1 && <1.3)
 }}}
 This is still not trivial to read, but it explains why `deepseq` has to be
 resolved, and it explains why none of the available versions can be used.

 I'm closing this one.
