Comment:
OK, it looks like this goes wrong because of the way we interleave the
building of packages when building GHC. GHC assumes that if we're building
one package, then packages that it depends on have already been built and
are complete. Therefore, even if a module in the other package has a `.hs-
boot` file, the real `.hs` file will also have been compiled and there
will be a full `.hi` file.
That seems like a reasonable assumption to make, and it doesn't look like
anything actually fails as a result of this, so I don't think we need to
take any action.
