As a Debian user who frequently operates disconnected from the network, I have to say I have found such 'extras' packages highly productive---the loss of disk space is more than compensated for by the ability to continue working during a long plane flight, because packages I didn't know I needed are already installed on my system.
I would welcome a virtual package to pull in all things ghc-6.6.
If you are using Debian etch then you can do apt-get install "libghc6-.*-dev" to install all GHC 6 libraries. There isn't such an easy way to install just those (somewhat arbitrarily) defined to be extralibs, though. Thanks Ian
