Bug#951490: haskell-yaml: please split yaml2json out into a separate package

[Jonathan Dowland]

Source: haskell-yaml
Version: 0.8.32-4+b1
Severity: wishlist

/usr/bin/yaml2json is a potentially useful tool for many different people,
not just haskell hackers. The dep chain for libghc-yaml-dev is quite large.
On my system, it ruled out installing over a 3G network connection, even
though I already have lots of Haskell dev packages installed.

Please consider splitting it out into a separate binary package.
