Agreed, if Debian didn't include the profiling libraries with GHC (though is this due to how Debian does packages?).
The haskell packages for Debian (I am one) have decided to stick to a pattern where if an upstream Haskell library is called 'foo' then: - The source code package will be called haskell-foo. - The library will be called libghc6-foo-dev. - The profiling version will be called libghc6-foo-prof - The documentation will be called libghc6-foo-doc. There might still be a small number of packages doing a variation on the above (especially for the source and doc packages).
To me, until there is one obvious package to install to get the same set of files as a normal ghc install I will continue to discourage people from getting ghc from apt :)
Unless it still doesn't provide profiling libraries, the extralibs problem is no more. There is, however, the Haskell Platform (which Debian seems to have almost had complete support for until the new one came out; now they've got to start again... >_> ).
Actually not quite correct. Debian does not strictly follow the Haskell Platform, mainly because some libraries in Debian were already at a later version when the first platform was released. The current situation can be seen here: http://wiki.debian.org/Haskell/Platform However, installing the Debian haskell-platform package should get close enough to the official Haskell Platform for most users not to notice.
