Yes I completely agree. This is my first time getting involved in the
haskell package game but it immediately struck me as a problem we
shouldn't be having. I don't think I understand the situation well
enough at this time to suggest a solution and I also don't really have
much motivation to hack on a solution. But someone should :)
