Comment (by dsf):
I'm sorry, I simplified the problem away and then didn't notice that the
message had changed. It turns out that the problem arises when processing
the installed-pkg-config file generated by dh_haskell_install, which
dh_haskell_shlibdeps then picks up using the find_config_for_ghc6
function. I don't speak perl very well, but I suspect this:
{{{
if (/([^\s:]+):(.*)/) {
$field = $1;
print OUTCONFIG "$field:";
$_ = $2;
}
}}}
