Bug#811520: RM: haskell-src-exts [mips mipsel] -- ROM; haskell-src-exts: build exhausts virtual memory

Hello,

TL, DR; Please, remove mips and mipsel binaries of haskell-src-exts from sid.



  haskell-src-exts is set "Not-for-us" on mips and mipsel architectures,
    https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=haskell-src-exts

  Besides it not migrating to testing, it is preventing other packages to move on and be marked with autoremoval state, such as haskell-hgettext or bustle.

  Hence, I have been discussing with maintainers, mainly Joachim Breitner ("nomeata") the removal of mips/mipsel binaries of haskell-src-exts from sid.

  Could you please proceed with it?

P.S./ I attempted a build of latest haskell-src-exts version on mipsel porterbox, reaching the virt mem exhausting...
