Only the first two proposals, not the one that involved hacking haddock
and Cabal to transparently look in the other paths.

you still have to make sure that you build a package only when all
dependencies have been fixed... and this order is not enforced by any
build dependencies. And source-NMUs are not present yet, who knows when
and if that becomes reality.

Maybe we can have a policy of: Everytime someone in the DHG is annoyed
by the index or links missing, he uploads that package to fix it :-)
