Should we strip `base` dependency from .cabal files by default? #91

As lots of time is spent on adding all those cabal_chdeps manually every time ghc is bumped.

Or it probably belongs in one of the eclasses.

base is not special here. Every time major dependency is bumped requires a lot of changes in dependent ebuilds. We don't have a good story here yet.
