Hello again,

Given that #67921 has been stale since February, is there any chance
that we could move forward with this? I would really like to use Guix
for some Haskell projects of mine and this is a major blocker to this
end. Did you run into any issues on the haskell-team branch?

If we want to avoid a world rebuild, we could look into packaging a
patched version of the Cabal Hackage package (superseding the one
vendored by GHC) and have cabal-install dependent on that patched
version.

Best,
Sören
