Hi Jason and other, thanks for the suggestions, the Debian Haskell Team is eager to learn why people do or don’t use the packaged libraries.

The profiling data is put in -prof packages, i.e. ghc-prof, libghc6-network-prof etc. Indeed, there is no easy way to tell the package system: Whenever I install a Haskell -dev package, please install the -prof package as well. It has been proposed to just drop the -prof packages and include it in the -dev package, as disk space is cheap. But ghc6-prof does weigh 254M, and not everybody who wants to modify his xmonad config wants to install that. > Unless it still doesn't provide profiling libraries, the extralibs > problem is no more. There is, however, the Haskell Platform (which > Debian seems to have almost had complete support for until the new one > came out; now they've got to start again... >_> ). No big deal this time, only minor version bumps and then rebuilding all depending libraries. Maybe we will do this with ghc6-6.12.2, maybe before.
