New description:
The description field of the cabal file in the haskell-mtl package
currently in debian sid contains an url with a colon, which leads to this
error:
{{{
ghc-pkg: 13: unrecognised field or section:
"(<http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~mpj/pubs/springschool.html>),"
}}}
This comes from `Cabal.Distribution.ParseUtils`.
