-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
GHC tracking bug for https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/2745
Externally, GHC's flags do not have to change much; a user simply passes
the installed package ID to the flag currently named `-this-package-key`
(but perhaps we should rename this.)
Internally, if we can assume that `PackageKey == InstalledPackageId`, we
can do away with the `InstalledPackageId` map and get rid of the level of
indirection between the bin-pkg-db (which records installed package IDs`)
and GHC's guts (which record package keys).
Blocked on Cabal not actually using ABI hashes to identify packages.
