Note that this bug is likely a security hole; /usr/bin/ghc loading .so
files relative to the CWD could be exploted.

When ghc's postinst runs ghc-pkg, it seems that dpkg does something that
prevents those relative paths being used (possibly just a chdir, didn't
check). So, it's at least not trivially exploitable by getting root to
install ghc when root is in /tmp.
