Excluding, it seems. When I run the script on that tarball:

$ tar --wildcards "*.cabal" -Oxf `find . -name "*.tar.gz" | g hugs2yc`
| runhaskell /home/gwern/deps.hs
PackageName "mtl"
PackageName "uniplate"
PackageName "yhccore"
PackageName "ycextra"
PackageName "parsec"
PackageName "directory"
PackageName "filepath"

No version of base or containers appears. (mtl appears in both
branches and also the general build-depends list.)
