426	.cabal files should be stored next to tarballs, potentially overriding in-tarball version	claus		`.cabal` files are *the* description of cabal packages, yet cabal/hackage hide them inside the package tarballs. For easy access, I would like the local package cache to store a copy of the `.cabal` file right next to the tarball. Changes in the out-of-package `.cabal` should override the original, in-package `.cabal`, allowing bug-fixing/adaptation to local packaging issues.	enhancement	new	normal		Hackage 2 server	1.6.0.1	normal				normal	6.8.3
