Comment (by ezyang):

 I was thinking about this situation some more, and I realized that we can
 actually avoid having to have Cabal query GHC for the package key, if we
 adopt a convention: the version hash of a package is the SAME as the
 package key, if the package is definite. I've repushed the pull request
 with this in mind.
