I don’t think it makes sense: A libghc6-blubb-dev package indicates a
package in the ghc-pkg sense name blubb (or haskell-blubb). If we don’t
actually ship the haskell platform ghc-pkg package, but rather a meta
package in the Debian sense that pulls in the correct packages, this
would rather be confusing than helpful.

Greetings,
Joachim
