Hello,

The release note of GHC 7.0.2 says:

----
1.5.6.3. bin-package-db

     This is an internal package, and should not be used.
----

What is the intention of this change?

The author of "cabal-delete" hesitates to register "cabal-delete" into
HackageDB due to this words.

Shouldn't a package-maintenance command even use this package? If so,
what package should be used?

This package is used internally by ghc-pkg and ghc to read and write the binary package database cache, it shouldn't be necessary for anyone else to use it - just invoke ghc-pkg to do any operations on the database.

Cheers,
        Simon
