Here's an updated patch for 8.0.2-9.

The patch still has the drawback that haskell-devscripts-minimal has to be
installed manually because it always tries to pull in the host version of
GHC which, of course, doesn't work when that is the version of GHC that one
is actually trying to bootstrap.

I tried fixing that by changing the dependency of haskell-devscripts-minimal
from "ghc" to "ghc:native". Unfortunately, dpkg doesn't seem to support
":native" in dependencies but only in build dependencies.
