Build test of haskell-conduit fails form ver. 0.5.5 which adopted doctest.

Unfortunately, because transitions of ghc is not applied to experimental 
repository,
this error is not checked at present except on ppc64 port.

So, since it may be a bug peculiar to doctest on ppc64 port, this is reported by 
"Severity:  important".

doctest requires GHCi, which is not supported on all architectures. The
cleanest fix would be if doctest would detect this situation and fail
gracefully: https://github.com/sol/doctest-haskell/issues/46

OK. This bug is under jurisdiction of haskell-doctest.

Although it can be understood that this bug should be solved at haskell-doctest,
if it is taken into consideration that GHCi is supporting architectures only
amd64, i386, hurd-i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, powerpc, sparc, 
powerpcspe,
and not supporting official armel, armhd, ia64, mips, mipsel, s390, s390x,
and unofficial alpha, hppa, m68k, ppc64, sh4, sparc64, x32,
it may be worthy of considering avoiding the test by doctest.

Since libghc-conduit-dev is build-depended from many other haskell packages,
it blocks building many packages now.

If another wishlist BTS to haskell-conduit about this is needed, shall I post 
it?
