Ross,
I changed the query to "count(distinct package)" and indeed the
"noises" of same package imports are filtered out. The two top-10
lists now look somewhat similar.
GHC only: http://haskell.ecoin.net/cgi-bin/modules.pl?src=ghc
1 Control.Monad 22
2 Data.Char 20
3 System.IO 17
4 Data.List 16
5 Data.Maybe 16
6 System.IO.Unsafe 14
7 Control.Exception 13
8 Foreign.Ptr 11
9 Data.Word 11
10 Foreign.C 11
GHC+HackageDB: http://haskell.ecoin.net/cgi-bin/modules.pl?src=both
1 Control.Monad 178
2 Data.List 132
3 Data.Maybe 113
4 Data.Char 104
5 System.IO 99
6 Control.Exception 98
7 Data.Word 83
8 System.IO.Unsafe 81
9 Foreign 74
10 Data.Map 68

I parsed through all the hackagedb modules. I also added the display of repository source (ghc, hdb) and package source. HackageDB is 3-4 times bigger than GHC core. The result is interesting, looking at the most used modules move up and down the rank...
You'd get a different picture again if you excluded same-package imports. Some of the high-ranking modules are used internally in large packages.
