Well that explains it then! I had no idea it listed stuff not
available from Hackage. I've been using `cabal list | grep foo` to
search for packages but that's obviously not optimal, it seems.

I don't know what would clarify the matter. An "available from
Hackage: (yes/no)" field? Or a flag to pass to `cabal list` to show
Hackage stuff only?
