multiple patches which consisted solely of one line removing haskell98 from the .cabal because the haskell98 modules *were not imported*.

A general "Nothing from dependency is imported" warning would be great, but trickier to implement. It's a similar problem to implementing an "extension isn't used" warning.

Thanks Ian

I've opened a ticket for this: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/643 It's independent of the general issue though. -- gwern
