This is show stopping for the review process. I need someone's input on why this is happening.debuginfo packages shouldn't even be built. GHC doesn't emit DWARF debug data.
Right, and at least in some of the haskell packages we explicitly disable debuginfo. That could probably be included in a sample haskell spec file.
-devel sub-package Do we need them?No.
Agree, probably not - at least non to date. Though I was tinkering a little recently with the idea of put .a files into -devel and .o files into the library packages, but I am not sure yet if it makes full sense or would be useful. Perhaps we should ship .o files anyway rather than generating them at install time.
