uh, annoying. It seems that cabal-install needs to depend on (at least)
the version of libghc-cabal-dev it was built with, which hopefully means
that Setup will be built against that latest version.

This looks similar to #774802. Sven, since you investigated that issue,
what do you think is the best solution for this one?
