I have looked into it -- unless we can unpack a bindist as part of the post-install step, it doesn't look practical. I have yet to be convinced that the RPM route make sense for the restrictive situation that Sanket outlines and I am trying to keep an open mind. I don't want to distribute sources either -- I think the solution will involve bindists. What a piece of work is a GHC bindist!

Long ago the Fedora Haskell project's rpm packages were relocatable for this reason. So it may still be possible and not that hard to do.
