Package: hs-plugins Severity: serious Tags: patch Justification: Policy 7.6.1
Hello team, There appears to be something weird going on with hs-plugins. If you check out debian/rules then there is a lot of logic for installing the documentation (I don't understand why this is needed; can't we bring the package into line?) into hs-plugins-doc. Included amongst these files is the plugins.haddock file... you can see where I'm going now - the new haskell-devscripts also installs the same file into libghc6-plugins-dev. File conflict and uninstallable packages abound. All build-depending packages fail to build because of this, obviously. We have only gotten away with this in Debian because hs-plugins-doc is arch:all and therefore hasn't been binNMUd - the next upload will break. Ubuntu only accepts source uploads so the problem has cropped up there. What's the correct immediate fix for this problem? I've attached a diff which I think solves it and uploaded this to Karmic, but I'd appreciate peer review before committing to darcs.
