thanks for your report. Do you have a specific reason to think that the
system library is _not_ used? It seems to used ever since the first
upload:

        $ cat rules 
        #!/usr/bin/make -f
        
        DEB_SETUP_GHC_CONFIGURE_ARGS = -fsystemlib
        
        include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk
        include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/hlibrary.mk
        
Greetings,
Joachim
