consider that: gcc-5 is not part of any Debian stable release, and gcc-4.9 is 
has been part of jessie for a while, but
jessie was released already with a pie one.
So, this is in fact affecting no stable or unstable release.

We might add a versioned conflict, and drop it after some months, even if I 
don't know how much we will solve with that
(also the opposite won't probably work, older ghc and newer gcc

I think you're still misunderstanding me... 
I'm not saying we should fix ghc so that it works with old versions of gcc.
I'm saying we should fix ghc (the deb package) so it refuses to install 
(conflicts) with old versions of gcc.

Okay, I'll take this to mean that if I submit a working/useful patch, you'll 
apply it.  I'll get to work on that.
