As a Debian user who frequently operates disconnected from the network, I have to say I have found such 'extras' packages highly productive---the loss of disk space is more than compensated for by the ability to continue working during a long plane flight, because packages I didn't know I needed are already installed on my system. I would welcome a virtual package to pull in all things ghc-6.6.
