Sounds like you are on the right track, Eric. Write down our
dependency information in the most widely understood machine-readable
format we can find, the better to communicate among potential
packagers, users, developers, etc..
I know next to nothing about the technical details of the cabal
format, but since it is the de facto standard for Haskell
programmers, then it is obviously the right language to speak in to
communicate with them.
