I was doing that because without the doc-base file I was getting a
lintian warning:

  I: libghc6-json-doc: possible-documentation-but-no-doc-base-registration
  N: 
  N:    The package ships a .html or .pdf file under /usr/share/doc/, which are
  N:    usually documentation, but it does not register anything in doc-base.
  N:    (Files under an examples directory are excluded.)
  N:    
  N:    Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 9.10 (Registering Documents using
  N:    doc-base) for details.
  N:    
  N:    Severity: wishlist, Certainty: possible

If we have a good reason to not supply doc-base registration with 
libghc6-*-doc packages then we should raise a bug against lintian

If someone can give me a good explanation of why we don't want doc-base
registration, I'll raise the bug and follow it through.

Cheers,
Erik
