Comment (by duncan):

 We don't make these macros available to `Setup.hs` scripts and it's not
 entirely clear that we should as it'd then be much harder to compile the
 scripts using anything other than cabal-install. For example distro
 packaging scripts need to be able to compile the Setup.hs scripts.
