[Haskell-cafe] Hackage inconsistent? (pandoc.cabal in 1.13.1)

On Hackage you can adjust bounds of dependencies without having to upload a new package version and that was done in consistently with github repo.

It seems pandoc 1.13.1 package on hackage has gotten into an
insonsistent state. I just noticed this strange situation with the dependency
on http-client:

pandoc.cabal at [1] has

if flag(https)
Build-Depends: http-client >= 0.3.2 && < 0.5,
http-client-tls >= 0.2 && < 0.3,
http-types >= 0.8 && < 0.9
cpp-options: -DHTTP_CLIENT

pandoc.cabal found in [2] has

if flag(https)
Build-Depends: http-client >= 0.3.2 && < 0.4,
http-client-tls >= 0.2 && < 0.3,
http-types >= 0.8 && < 0.9
cpp-options: -DHTTP_CLIENT

How can something like this even happen?
