I think these are packages that come with the GHC source (e.g. to build other included tools), but that we do not want to provide from the ghc package, as there is a separate stand-alone package doing that. > * Remove all ignored libraries except for ghc, although I believe we > can safely remove that too, and Provide/Conflict libghc-ghc-dev. > @nomeata please comment on whether this is the right approach. If you start actually providing them with ghc, then yes. But it would mean that you cannot upgrade them independently any more.
