Don't do that, then. As I would see it, -dev packages would still only depend on other -dev packages and ghc6. ghc6 would suggest ghc6-prof. The only consequence that I see for not having ghc6-prof installed then would be that you couldn't compile for profiling, even though you'd have unusable profiling files for the respective libraries eating up disk space. IMHO that's a price worth paying for, to simplify the packaging scheme. With -dev packages, this is Haskell coders' disk space that we're talking about, not regular users. They can afford it. But I'd still leave thinking about this for Squeeze+1. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-haskell-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
