+`keysafe` and `zxcvbn-c` (and possibly others) fail to build with Cabal 2.0. Cabal now requires a top-level `custom-setup` and inner `setup-depends` stanza for packages with build-type `Custom`. This field specifies the dependencies of `Setup.hs` itself.

+For example:

+ custom-setup:
+ setup-depends:
