Sigh. This is the problem with adding new syntax. I'll have a go at
adding a check so that packages using this new syntax should have to
declare cabal-version: >= 1.6.

Fortunately the solution for end users is easy:

$ cabal update
$ cabal install cabal-install

To get the latest version which groks the new syntax.
