Haskell as a first timer - Am I missing something ?
The yaml you are talking about is part of a tool called hpack. This tool can be used on it's own (and with cabal-install as such), it just so happens that stack has it's own internal copy of it and runs it automatically whenever it finds a package.yaml.
