#236: Installed package config refers to nonexisting haddock interface and html
files

Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2

----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Cabal generates the {{{haddock-interfaces}}} and {{{haddock-html}}}
package fields even if the haddock documentation is not built nor
installed.
Instead of assuming haddock is used, it should add the fields iff needed
upon register (install = copy + register), where enough information should
be available to make a more clever installation.
Example {{{ghc-pkg describe binary}}} built without haddock:
{{{
name: binary

description: Efficient, pure binary serialisation using lazy ByteStrings.
Haskell values may be encoded to and form binary formats,
written to disk as binary, or sent over the network.
Serialisation speeds of over 1 G\/sec have been observed,
so this library should be suitable for high performance
scenarios.

Both {{{/usr/share/doc/binary-0.4.1/html/binary.haddock}}} and
{{{/usr/share/doc/binary-0.4.1/html}}} are (rightfully) missing in the
installation.
