Jhc also has been running afoul of this problem. I am not sure what the
best solution is. 

Personally, I think that no cabal user built packages should be
installed unhidden, as any has the possibility of breaking something
that previously worked. Users should have to specifically request what
they want with -package arguments for anything other than 'core'
packages. 

I know it is not ideal, but i don't know another solution without
lifting the naming restriction....
