Hi,

cabal-install currently suggests:

Note: there is a new version of cabal-install available.
To upgrade, run: cabal install cabal-install

which makes perfect sense for user-installed cabal-install instances.
But I think the version packaged by Debian should not recommend this, as
Debian users more likely prefer updating cabal-install via apt-get.

Greetings,
Joachim
