 looking into the docs, `data-files` seem easy. but when i try this:
 {{{
 -- p.cabal
 name: p
 version: 0
 license: BSD3
 build-depends: base
 build-type: Simple
 exposed-modules: P
 data-files: file
 }}}
 {{{
 -- Setup.hs
 import Distribution.Simple
 main = defaultMain
 }}}
 {{{
 -- P.hs
 module P(file) where
 import Paths_p
 file = getDataFileName "file"
 }}}
 {{{
 -- file
 data here
 }}}
 installation succeeds, but usage doesn't:
