It's documented behaviour. * import Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec will work without any -package flags, if any installed package has a module Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec. It's very tiresome adding -package flags all the time.
* The link step needs -package flags, because it only gets .o files, and we didn't want it to start hunting through .hi files (though that would be possible) * ghc Main.hs is by definition equivalent to ghc -c Main.hs; ghc Main.o, and the latter step needs the package flag. If you say ghc --make Main.hs you'll get what you want.
