Yes, that's a concern with Arch Linux too. We had to regress some
things. We currently don't use a true meta package (i.e. we run the
Setup.hs for the actual platform .cabal file, which does additional
sanity checking).
The need to regress things is a bit awkward: likely that'll go away in
2009.2.1 (where we bump things if the API is compat.)
