As far as I can tell, `guix import hackage` imports the first revision =
of a hackage
release.

I suggest aiming to import the latest cabal revision from hackage, as
already supported by haskell-build-system via the #:cabal-version
argument.

In the meantime, documenting this in the `guix import hackage` =
documentation
would be much appreciated, it took me quite a long time to figure out =
what
was going wrong here.
