Comment:
I'm not sure when, if at all, GHC should check for things like this,
especially if we allow a `package.conf.d` directory, so calling ghc-pkg
isn't needed to register packages. I think the options are (in order of
increasing paranoia):
* Assume Cabal has done the checking for us, and don't do it ourselves
* Check in ghc-pkg when (if) the package is registered
* Check in GHC itself when we read the `package.conf`
