As noted on the Hugs download page, this module was removed from the
underlying base Haskell library package and replaced with non-portable
regex-* packages.  The only way forward is for the regex-* packages to
be made portable and packaged separately.

I think you've set the severity of this bug too high: "renders package
unusable" is just not true.  I would say it "has a major effect on the
usability of a package, without rendering it completely unusable to
everyone", i.e. important.
