Bug#797446: haskell-stack: Missing dependencies: libyaml, make, libgmp-dev

[Tom Fitzhenry]

Package: haskell-stack
Version: 0.1.2.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The stack package has a few easy-to-workaround-but-serious issues:
* stack(1) links against libyaml, but this is not specified as a dependency.
* `stack setup` fails with "The following executables are missing and must be installed: make", if `make` is not installed. This should be a dependency.
* `stack setup` fails with "Linking /tmp/stack-sanity-check20372/Main ... /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgmp" if libgmp-dev is not installed. This should be a dependency.

Regards,
Tom Fitzhenry
