Description
`cabal build` accepts option `--force-reinstalls` and I came across it here: https://github.com/agda/agda/blob/0e85116e87e53e38cbdfa499f573970d6f78555a/src/github/workflows/haddock.yml#L75
`cabal build --help` offers this explanation:
> --force-reinstalls
> Reinstall packages even if they will most likely break other installed packages.
However, I thought this was a `v1` thing, and `v2` builds do not break other installed pacakges.
The documentation does not know about `--force-reinstalls`, at least I didn't find it in the index and in doc search.
