I would find this confusing since we already have extra-packages
which are solved within the plan.
TBH I am -1 on adding dev environment management features to cabal.
If those executables have to solved independently; this would be equivalent to using cabal install
to install them.

I think this is a bit underspecified.
How is this field used? What commands would invoke these executables to be built, and how would they end up in the PATH?

I tend to agree. If we had a concept of a cabal-provided dev-shell, and the field was dev-tools
or something, then it would make sense that when you go into the dev shell you get the dev tools on the path. But just saying they're "extra" is indeed rather unclear.
