I modified Cabal to avoid code duplication. I didn't know about the
upcoming cabal-install release. I'm attaching a new patch bundle that
doesn't modify Cabal. (These supersede the last set of patches I
sent.) The only difference is a small change in
Distribution.Client.Types.

Yes. It also needs to respect the constraints, i.e., configure
packages with '--enable-tests' as appropriate, or it will complain
that the install plan pulls in extra dependencies.
