this is a valid point and likewise affects github-backup, the only user
of haskell-github.

I’m worried about (hypothetical) programs that use github-backup, but
only as one feature of many. Assume git-annex were to use
haskell-github, just because of that noone would argue putting git-annex
into contrib, but a package in main cannot depend on a package in
contrib. Also, if the code was not separated into a separate libray,
noone would worry.

Greetings,
Joachim
