[Haskell-cafe] Cabal 3.2.0.0, run okay with profiling enabled, but installed exe NO profiling enabled

[YueCompl]

I'm using a multi-package project with `profiling: True` defined in cabal.project.local, and my cabal.project is generated by tools, so maybe this workaround doesn't work around 3.2.0.0?

```
$ cat cabal.project.local 

profiling: True
profiling-detail: all-functions

optimization: 0

$ cat cabal.project

-- Please change Cabal project settings per your needs
