By default, Cabal will first try to satisfy dependencies with the
default flag value and then, if that is not possible, with the
negated value. However, if the flag is manual, then the default
value (which can be overridden by commandline flags) will be used.
By default, Cabal tries to resolve dependencies using the flag's ``default`` value.
If that fails, it tries again with the negated default value. However, if the flag is
marked as ``manual``, Cabal will only use the default value and will not retry
with the negated default. Note that the default value can still be overridden
using command-line flags.
