I suggest adding them to a group named "haskell-platform" too.
With or without having a haskell-platform package?
Packages and groups should never have the same name. If you think a package by that name would make more sense then forget I mentioned using a group.
I personally think a (meta-) package is better than a group. I've never really understood groups. That is, I understand perfectly how they work, but I don't understand the reason for having them.
I see groups as a user-friendly manner of presenting, sorting, installing packages, while meta-packages are friendlier to developers and package managers (you can use a meta-package as dependency). I don't think we are going to have depends=(haskell-platform) anywhere, since all PKGBUILDs we have rely on the individual libraries. -- Rémy.
