Someone in a previous thread made an analogy between GHC and the linux

of GHC/Hugs/whatever and some bundled packages, would meet the desire
for a "batteries included" Haskell implementation without tying the
most popular libraries to GHC releases.
Well - the various Linux distributions certainly could do this -
providing a virtual "haskell-libs" package that just pulls in a bunch
of commonly used packages. It'd be nice, of course, if that package
was reasonably consistent across distributions, and if there were
a corresponding installer for those other operating systems.
Meta-packages on hackage would do the trick, no?
