So, when ghc --show-iface does not change for an .hi, it is guaranteed that depending libraries will continue to work? Or are there more pitfalls? Maybe we can use this somehow to avoid recompilation. Something like Provide: <pkgname>-<md5sum of --show-iface> and then using that in Depends:. Just a quick idea...
