FWIW, it's important to me to keep cabal compatible with the current
versions of the compilers... especially the ones in Debian.

This is especially true if this fptools tree doesn't make it into the
next release of Debian for any of the compilers, and we need a
separate package.  At that point, Debian is frozen, and people will
rely on the separate package.
