Unfortunately that's not a reliable means of determining cabal
packages. (Baffling, I know.) I think it actually lists things you
have installed from other sources, too. For instance:


$ cabal list | grep cairo
 * cairo
Homepage: http://haskell.org/gtk2hs/archives/2006/01/26/cairo-eye-candy/
$ cabal install cairo
cabal: There is no package named cairo


I changed the commands to:
  cabal update
  cabal list | fgrep "      Latest version available: " | wc
Now I count 915 entries.
