This calls for a means of blacklisting broken or malicious packages.
cabal update
should also pull a blacklist of packages that will never be selected by
cabal install (except maybe by explicit user safety overriding).
Maybe we can use the existing preferred-versions file that cabal-install uses:
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/preferred-versions
It is also possible to deprecate a package. Is it possible to deprecate a
single version? I'm afraid that the user is also not warned if he installs
a deprecated package.
