[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#647892: build-dependency loop in hscolour/haskell-devscripts

Package: hscolour
Version: 1.19-1
Severity: normal

haskell-devscripts depends on hscolour, while hscolour build-depends on
haskell-devscripts. with force-depends installed haskell-devscripts,
hscolour builds fine. So it appears not all funtionality of haskell-devscripts
depends on hscolour.

This could be solved by 

1) making hscolour not build-depend on haskell-devscripts.
2) splitting haskell-devscripts to two packages, one with the hscolour using
scripts, one with rest scripts.
