Description
reproducable with both 1.22.6.0 and HEAD when building Cabal library itself. same symptom for other packages.
everything else is printed to stdout, so i guess this is not intended.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by running `cabal build -v` while building the Cabal library and another package, capturing stdout and stderr separately. Trace the command's verbose-output path to identify the single stderr line; done means verbose output is consistently written to stdout for both reported versions and package types, with regression coverage where the project permits.
