Does this still allow to use darcs as a local package e.g. for darcsden?

It should do - it just means it won't get turned off silently because
the cabal solver had some problem with its dependencies. If you
definitely need it off then you probably needed to do so explicitly
already, since it defaulted to on unless there was a problem.

Okay, understood. No objections, then. Indeed, cabal turning the
executable flag off in order to resolve dependencies is really no help
for someone who wants to install darcs using cabal (even /if/ that makes
it build the library, which is questionable).

(Had to pull it from screened because the bundle didn't apply because of the 2.14.1 tag in the context. No problem. Good to see that it reliably and quickly failed using the current darcs from screened.)
