If all you want is the Haskell Platform, I believe the Arch policy is to provide all those packages in the official [extra] repository. (If those are broken because of the new ghc, just use IgnorePkg to avoid the ghc update.) The [haskell] and other ArchHaskell repos are for the rest of Hackage that's not in the Platform.
