That seems just the kind of thing that could be co-opted to my purposes, but as you say the cabal file format doesn't seem to mention how I'd go about setting my tag field. Trying "Tag: dougal1" didn't work, as I suspected ;-) In the mean time I will try Stephen Tetley's approach of renaming the package instead of the version.
