Dear Dimitry,
please keep such questions on the mailing list. I’m neither the only one
the group that can answer them, nor the only one that might want to know
the answers.

It sometimes causes confusion, but there is not much we can do about it,
as we definitely want the new cabal-install versions.

No, you can replace it, or leave it. The standard stanza is relatively
new.

The latter. But it is less work to simply write "foo license" than
manually determining the license. If you want to do that, that’s of
course good and welcome; I personally didn’t bother. At least not until
DEP5 is actually used for a relevant purpose.
