Package: gtk2hs-buildtools
Version: 0.13.0.4-1
Severity: normal
I happened to notice while grepping the Contents file that this
library puts some upstream documentation in the wrong place:
dpkg -L gtk2hs-buildtools
/.

The file in question turns out just to be a copy of the GPL, so nobody
is likely to care about not being able to find it, but the directory
name that gtk2hs-buildtools is hogging is one that could in principle
clash with a valid inhabitant of the /usr/share/doc/<packagename>/
namespace....
(This bug is new since the version in Jessie.)
