That would be useful, don't know if cabal-install supports it?  I only
know that cabal-install will only select non-preferred if explicitly
asked to do so (maybe also if it can't find an other valid install plan,

Fore sure, I'll do that.  But it will only go into the description, not
into the synopsis.
