Thank you!

Yes, guess you're right.  (It seems to be the default place gtk2hs installs
the docs, though personally I quite like it since I have it bookmarked and
it is nice not to have to update it every time the version is incremented.
On the other hand it is probably cleaner to have the directory versioned.)

Fixed.

Good point - fixed.

Thanks, will fix that too.

Good idea: I included them in -doc.

Right - I did ponder renaming them all to -devel packages, but then there is
the problem of the .o files used by ghci.

Fixed.

Well that works, but then the problem is that ghc642-gconf will conflict with
ghc641-gconf, etc.  An alternative might be to make ghc-gtk2hs pull in all the
subpackages perhaps?

I updated the submission to:
