`Setup.hs` required?

[konsumlamm]

As far as I can tell, having a Setup.hs file is not required (if we have build-type: Simple, which is the default for newer cabal versions). However, the documentation doesn't mention this and instead makes it sound like it's required. Could you please clarify whether a Setup.hs file should be present and update the documentation in case it isn't?

Apologies if this was already answered, but there are too many issues involving Setup.hs.

No need for apologies, this is indeed unclear from documentation.

As you have correctly states, Setup.hs is not always required.
