We also need to specify the haddock version, have that on every person's machine (easier now it is part of the Haskell Platform) and be robust in the tolerance of doc generation failure.
We could define a haskell-base package group (this may not necessarily be the entire platform) that all haskell packages have an assumed build dependency on. This is how other PKGBUILDs work: anything in base-devel is assumed to be installed and up to date on the machine you're building packages on. Candidates for haskell-base would be GHC, Haddock (if we stop using the internal GHC one), Alex, Happy, and C2Hs. That being said, I don't really have too much personal stake in the AUR packages, since I primarily use cabal-install these days. Take my thoughts with as much care as they deserve. Matt
