It appears its not very easy to work around that Cabal bug, and Cabal
HEAD won't work with cabal-install HEAD, so I'm stuck. If I do
generate databases, it will have to be unconditionally, which seems
like an awful waste of time even if nothing has changed. Generating
databases takes around a minute.

Thanks
