Comment:

 This sort of happened for 8.0.1 after all: there's a new package
 description field `dynamic-library-dirs` for the location of the shared
 library and by default Cabal now uses the `$LIBDIR/lib$PKG_KEY.so` layout
 suggested in this ticket. As I understand it this doesn't yet apply to the
 libraries distributed with GHC, though; but at least the number of
 libraries this affects is now constant (~25, rather than however many
 hundred dependencies a non-GHC program might have).
