The documentation packages use haddock to update the index pages on install,
though this is done via the script, gen_contents_index in ghc6-doc. In this
case shouldn't there be a real dependency on ghc6-doc, not just a
Recommends? Also, up until recently it was the case that haddock packages
had to be installed using the same version of haddock that they were built
with. This has been fixed, but I'm unclear exactly what versions of what
packages you need to have this fix.
