+1 to renaming the new base, and have 'base' be a compatibility
package incorporating 'containers', 'array', etc, with compatible

common to specify just 'base' without any version. At least, I know I
do.)
There's currently no (easy) way to make a package that just re-exports the
contents of other packages. I've been thinking about ways to do this
recently, but I'm now convinced that adding direct support to Cabal and the
rest of the packaging infrastructure to do this is the wrong way. I'll try
to write down my thoughts and post it sometime.
Cheers,
Simon
