Unfortunately, this will not work because what I'm actually working on
is a library, and cabal doesn't allow for having multiple libraries in a
single project.

Anyway, I have solved the problem by moving Internal into a separate
package and using stack to build the whole thing. Turned out to be the
easiest solution.
