PS: concerning your last point, about "separating the Simple build
system", that might indeed be good.  Indeed, the GHC plan described
here http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Design/BuildSystem is
(I think) precisely using the declarative part but not the build-
system part.

The
* Use Cabal for Haddocking, installing, and anything else we need
to do.
bullet point uses the build system part.

Hmm, from the previous discussion I got the impression that (large
parts of) this functionality would be extracted from Simple and could
then be used by other build systems. Is this wrong?

I thought that the proposal was to split Cabal into the "declarative
package specification part", and the "how to build the package" part?

If so, then surely "how to run haddock on the sources" belongs in the
"how to build the package" part?

Ignore me, I misunderstood what your original mail. Sorry for the confusion.
