#5468: Implement deepseq->{array,containers} dependancy reversal proposal
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------

Type: task | Status: new

''See also the related #4868 proposal''
Implementing the proposal involves the following steps:
1. make hackage:deepseq a GHC-boot package,
2. remove `deepseq` dependancy on hackage:array and hackage:containers,
3. move (and refactor) the affected instance definitions to the `array`
and `containers` packages respectively (and make them depend on
`deepseq`), and
4. satisfy the PVP by incrementing package versions where necessary.
