Description
buildFromSdist provides the benefit of checking release-worthiness (something not all Haskell projects care about, because they don't all care to release to Hackage).
But it does so at the expense of causing much pain:
- #238
- #283
- #290
- #292
Can we replace it with something that just works?

Research direction
Start by examining the buildFromSdist implementation and the problems described in issues #238, #283, #290, and #292. The issue does not define a replacement or acceptance criteria; done would require agreeing on an alternative that avoids the reported pain while addressing the intended release-worthiness check.
