There are good reasons for not only bundling 'ghc' package with GHC, but 'base', too? I assumed it is intended to untangle 'base' and GHC in future, such that 'base' can be used with JHC, UHC, Hugs.
I seem to recall that the logistics of that change have been proving a bit difficult in practice, and as such it's probably not going to happen very soon. - -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkz+9HYACgkQIn7hlCsL25XXPQCfa/x9ZyhUmN88vu3/EPv8Tjhq +5EAniBq3G9gto/IC8kyYFP2rAjTxB/4 =LnDx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
A better plan would be to start depending on 'haskell2010' or
'haskell98' and get rid of explicit dependencies on 'base' altogether.
Since those are standardized between compilers.

I admit that once in the past I have replaced all dependencies on 'haskell98' by dependencies on 'base' in order to consistently use modules from the hierarchical namespace.
