Which is implemented in bash; and making it depend on Haskell will not please porters. But we could have a separate tool in our tools repository, of course. Ideally, we’d have a tool that parses the build dependencies, parses the control file, find out what dependencies correspond to what Cabal packages, updates the build dependencies in the control file, while preserving whitespace, indentation and everything else, and is smart about things like epoch in the version. Maybe the augeas library can provide the nasty details?
