hmm, is that a complete list, or just those that have been checked so
far?

Until now I was under the impression that only those packages were
affected by this that had a haskell-*-doc package at some time
previously, which is a minority. But haskell-split never had that, so
this indicates that all ~400 Haskell source packages are affected. In
that case, we should think some more before trying to fix each
individual package. Ideally, we’d only need to improve the dummy
packages (as shipped by haskell-dummy) and _not_ touch all 400 source
packages.

I’m currently at POPL, so I won’t look into this anytime soon, if
someone else wants to pick this up, that’d be great.

@Holger: I don’t think you need to file more bugs about this, as we
hopefully can fix this once for all packages.

Greetings,
Joachim
