Thanks @ffaf1

I would expect other packages need a relaxation as well, at least Cabal, cabal-install-solver and cabal-install.

@Bodigrim, @bgamari: do you need a backport of this to the soon to be released cabal-install 3.10.3 (note that GHC 9.10 will likely be accompanied by the current master, which will be 3.12.1)?

[ffaf1]

(note that of course that two patches would have to be picked, if this is going to be backported)

It would not hurt and I imagine someone could benefit from it, but not a strong requirement. Might be easier to do it upfront than (potentially) revise later though.

Two PRs? Total? Doesn't sound too bad. Let's do it, I think.

BTW, we need to ask mergify to backport them in proper order or it'd create conflicts...
