This will only work until the next 'cabal update', right? Does anyone
have a better workaround?

It's also the cabal-install shipped with Ubuntu 11.10, i.e. the
current version that everyone uses. So it would be nice if the
offending version could also be removed from hackage or something
similar to prevent this problem for everyone.
