I've started to run out of memory when linking certain packages.  The culprits at the moment are crypto-api (Crypto.CPoly) and Agda-executable. [snip] crypto-api is a library package, so I some similar trick isn't really a possibility there :(  Is there anything I can do about this?

That module is something I really hate, since every time I develop something that uses any form of HTTP there's a package that indirectly pulls crypto-api.  Since there are many times where I use cabal-dev or virthual-env, the party begins!

So I guess you could e-mail crypto-api's maintainer and express your dissatisfaction?  crypto-api is meant to be a core package in Haskell's cryptography world, this situation is far from ideal.

Sure, I can do that, but it would be even better to express dissatisfaction and suggest a way to fix it. I don't have any idea of what's going on though.
