Thanks, that was the problem.

Since Paths_pkgname is somehow a special module, I stupidly assumed
that cabal would take care of exporting it under the hood. I hope that
the directory where the Paths_pkgname is included (dist/build/autogen
) doesn't change in the future.

Either way, I think it would be a good idea to include a comment about
it in the Cabal documentation
(http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/latest/doc/users-guide/authors.html#paths-module
).
