cabal freeze should take current set of packages installed into account

[gracjan]

Scenario:

1. Update list of packages in my-package.cabal.
2. Use cabal install --only-dep
3. Use cabal configure
4. Use cabal build
5. Make sure it compiles and works as expected.
6. Run cabal freeze to freeze this particular set of versions as working set of packages.

Expected:

In 6 cabal freeze freezes versions that were used during build in 5.

Current:

In 6 cabal freeze freezes some other set of packages somehow not exactly related to what was build.

freeze does take into account installed packages when a sandbox is being
used. Although it has been requested that freeze does not do this: someone
wants the exact opposite behaviour of what you are after :-)

Are you using a sandbox? Could you provide the *.cabal file you are using
please?

I'll try to find some time to work getting freeze into a state where it can
support both use cases.
