Note that it also needs to be fixed in ghc6 itself, of course, as ghc6-doc is not built with haskell-devscripts. It also means that I’ll have to wait for a new ghc6 build to get started here on amd64 :-) > What does haddock even use from a .haddock file, to generate that > library index?

I’m not sure if we should hack something up there, that needs to be maintained and that’s duplicating existing functionality. Putting the .haddock file in -dev should be fine, IMHO. But does that mean that the -doc package should depend on the -dev package? Versioned or unversioned?
