When in a sandbox, running cabal install without arguments will use the dist/dist-$HASH directory for storing intermediate files. However, if you previously ran cabal build, it used dist. This leads to unnecessary recompilation; dist/dist-$HASH should be used only for add-source dependencies.

See #1281 for original discussion.
