I think it's a bug in the version of Cabal distributed with GHC 6.6
(which the HackageDB scripts are compiled with): unknown fields trigger
warnings, but are also treated an buildinfo fields.  So they're accepted
if the package contains a library, but not otherwise.  This was changed
in a Jan 14 2007 patch "Refactorings only" (sic): in the HEAD such fields
trigger a warning and nothing else.  Of course a subsequent change has
made the field in question (Build-Type) a known field.
