ghc-pkg uses wrong package.conf

After installing HEAD ghc, running ghc-pkg lists no packages (not even base or rts):

$ /Users/judah/tmp/ghc-stage/bin/ghc-pkg list
/Users/judah/tmp/ghc-stage/share/ghc-6.9.20080809/ghc-pkg-6.9/package.conf:

The problem is that utils/ghc-pkg/ghc-pkg.wrapper points to the $datadir of ghc-pkg, which is the ghc-stage/share/[etc] folder listed above; whereas the package database used by ghc is instead:

/Users/judah/tmp/ghc-stage/lib/ghc-6.9.20080809/package.conf
