Package: ghc6
Version: 6.8.2-7
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.1.

GHC includes GNU MP library with it, in gmp/gmp-4.2.1.tar.gz.  The
build system already does the right thing and doesn't link against the
local copy of the library, but it still carries the tarball with the
accompanying GNU documentation, with this license:

Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under
the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later
version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections,
with the Front-Cover Texts being ``A GNU Manual'', and with the Back-Cover
Texts being ``You have freedom to copy and modify this GNU Manual, like GNU
software''.

I'll need to repackage the upstream tarball to remove its copy of GMP.
That shouldn't be too disruptive.
