the problem is that Template Haskell does not work on all architectures, so the Debian people prefer solutions that avoid TH if it is not needed.

Yeah, we've just come across this problem in Gentoo when dealing with how Haddock behaves when there's TH to be documented in some architectures :s

I didn't know this: is there a corresponding GHC ticket? I can't find one, but I could just have chosen the wrong keywords. It seems like the right thing to do would just be to make TH work properly rather than maintain a special-purpose preprocessor. Cheers, Max
