Public bug reported:

Ubuntu already has several GHC6 libraries packaged, e.g. libghc6-fgl-
dev, libghc6-hunit-dev, libghc6-mtl-dev, etc.  One that is missing is
STM (Software Transactional Memory), which is a fairly-official GHC6
library like the others mentioned.  Debian has a virtual package for it
(http://packages.debian.org/etch/libghc6-stm-dev).  I think that's for
when the libraries used to be bundled with GHC 6.6, but now that we're
on GHC 6.8 (in Hardy, at least), the libraries are separate and Ubuntu
doesn't have a corresponding package.  It would be great if STM could be
added alongside all the other similar Haskell libraries -- hopefully it
isn't too much trouble.

The STM package can be found in Hackage, BSD3 licence:
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/stm

Thanks.
