Please submit a bug (ideally with a patch!).  It should be documented.

However, note that we don't really like people to use PackageImports.
It's not a carefully designed feature, we only hacked it in so we could build the base-3 wrapper package a while ago. It could well change in the future.

Cheers,
        Simon

Hello Simon,

I just found out that in combination with the PackageImports extension
there's a special module name "this" which according to [1] always
refers to the current package. But I couldn't find this rather useful
feature mentioned in the GHC 7.6.1 Manual PackageImports section[2]. Has
this been omitted on purpose from the documentation?

Cheers,
   hvr
