Why do this extra work instead of simply upgrading to 6.8.3?
Mainly because 6.8.2 is installed on my Ubuntu system using a pre-compiled package (including a bunch of pre-compiled libraries). I much prefer to use the the native packaging system because most of the time it works so much better than anything else.
Also, the "extra work" became a few minor tweaks to this code:

So nag the Ubuntu ghc maintainer about being several versions behind. Or if
they're actually not several versions behind, you're just using an old
version of ubuntu, install a copy of ghc from a newer version of ubuntu.
