Please note that ghc6 6.8.2-dfsg1.1 in testing can be used to build a
registerised ghc on this machine that will actually start ghci (and
work properly as far as I know). So this is not the same bug as
#365497 and is a different regression problem.

Specifically I can verify #365497 is fixed in 6.8.2 if I build a
registerised ghc from the source package and try to reproduce it :

shya...@turtle:/tmp$ cat test.hs
module Bug where

data Test = Const Integer deriving (Show)
shya...@turtle:/tmp$ ghci test.hs
GHCi, version 6.8.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Loading package base ... linking ... done.
[1 of 1] Compiling Bug              ( test.hs, interpreted )
Ok, modules loaded: Bug.
*Bug> Const 1

So that one was fixed a while ago but 6.8.2 was just never built
registerised on powerpc...

Cheers!
