[Haskell-cafe] external git dependency source in .cabal

[Ivan Perez]

If you can do this, this is news to me.

See: https://www.haskell.org/cabal/users-guide/developing-packages.html

dependencies, only to indicate the repo for the package you are defining.

You'd have to publish pack1 somewhere (on hackage or in your own hackage
server), or use a different tool to declare the dependency. I don't know if
cabal's new-build system addresses this at all.
