646	cabal-install does not install data-files	StefanK		"Installing a package with
{{{
cabal clean
cabal configure --user --prefix=""${HOME}/opt""
cabal build
cabal install
}}}

does not copy the data-files listed in the project.cabal file to the desired destination. It does not copy them anywhere at all. I would expect them to end below something like {{{/home/sk/opt/share/project-0.1}}}, as is reported by function {{{Paths_project.getDataFileName}}}.

I'll attach a toy project demonstrating this.

System:
{{{
sk@watarrka:~> ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.12.1

sk@watarrka:~> cabal --version
cabal-install version 0.8.0
using version 1.8.0.2 of the Cabal library
