That's a likely explanation, because I did the 'cabal sdist' on Windows.
It's a bit funny that nobody noticed that so far, Windows seems to be
highly under-represented for Haskell developers compared to Linux/Mac (I
regularly switch). :-/ I've opened
https://github.com/haskell/hackage-server/issues/402, I wasn't even aware
of that GitHub project.

Granted, but to me the distinction between
haskell/haskell-cafe/ghc-users/ghc-dev is always a bit blurry and IMHO
there are too many fragmented lists, especially given that more and more
tools are involved in the Haskell ecosystem, so this will get worse. But
that's just my personal view.... :-)
