My initial understanding was that Debian's ghc was at fault here, but
now I see it is the other way around. It is the stack-provided ghc that
fails. In fact, one solution may be to use the latest ghc provided by
Debian. Of course, this is not possible for packages using lts-6.12.

I re-opened this bug, and set it to track the upstream report.

Best,
