Supporting using stack to build propellor on the Host too is the missing part, and something I'd take a patch for. Your patch as it stands discards the cabal support. But, I personally want to continue building propellor with cabal on my Hosts, at least until stack is available in Debian stable, and probably longer. (I use Debian's ghc and haskell packages for other things on my hosts, so using stack would waste disk space.) I feel there needs to be a way to configure this. It would probably be fine to use stack on the remote host if the local propellor repository has `git config propellor.buildsystem stack` set. Or perhaps it should be configured in the config.hs. """]]
