I wrote an article explaining how I install multiple versions and avoid
~/.cabal hell (on Debian Wheezy):

TLDR: Do not install *anything* into ~/.cabal; essentially just use it to
store the package list and archives, installing the most recent version of
cabal-install into --global and everything else into sandboxes.
