Comment (by ezyang):

 mgsloan: To answer your seven weeks ago question: tix module names will
 include the full package name + version number + hash (they will just be
 what you think of as the IPID). I am not sure this DIRECTLY solves your
 problem; you still need an IPID, but you can avoid going through ghc-pkg.
 (Unless you need to support backwards compatibility).

 Feuerbach: I don't quite understand your problem. Is the assigned package
 key from the inplace and the installed version actually different? I don't
 think should be true in 7.10; if it is that's some sort of bug.  Is this
 giving you grief for 7.8 as well?

 I can advise on package key/IPID related issues, but I know very little
 about the hpc tool.
