-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 If you have package which contains both a library and an executable then
 the dependencies for the compiler library are set to be the union of the
 dependencies for the executable and the library. For example with the GF
 package description:

 http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/gf/3.1.6/gf.cabal

 'ghc-pkg describe gf' will report:

 depends: Win32-2.2.0.1-f796bdb4f71914e9886090422be8f9cb
          array-0.3.0.0-dbdf73710a5bd9a534e8bcb2d8c8ee98
          base-4.2.0.0-f9f9ffe572130b994c2080b74a5b4e68
          bytestring-0.9.1.5-00c16473505de56926118ef2c791fff2
          containers-0.3.0.0-409fe3b8f0dda25b98e03716d26be411
          directory-1.0.1.0-57db95a03e1d1b3b8c63f3744fe9d297
          filepath-1.1.0.3-ccf4622ce5a33fc941fb0fe1e5fa228c
          haskeline-0.6.2.2-1c1615561ccaeda54ae035ac05fbd790
          mtl-1.1.0.2-23ca4de7c573fd4df309067199a40634
          old-time-1.0.0.3-31e98cd52d90f145132096c2ac27b2bb
          pretty-1.0.1.1-2bfa34c699efff7eed4d6297a2dac12d
          process-1.0.1.2-defcecf2341a38cef42864b527e668bb
          random-1.0.0.2-156803737564049405b3380fdb96ac75

 while the real library dependencies are only base, array, containers,
 bytestring and random.
