As an off-the-cuff guess (not having had anything to do with
developing cabal-install, etc.), it probably _does_ take dependencies
into account... but it sees that the packages are all installed and
thus order isn't sufficient.  What it seemingly isn't taking into
account is the new requirement to have profiling or dynamic builds of
existing packages.
