I remember we used to unregister, and then it was changed to update. Is
it a bug in ghc-pkg or is update suposed to do this? Or, in other
words, should we file a bug or fix it in Debian (or, maybe, both)?
In ghc-pkg --help there is:
ghc-pkg update {filename | -}
Register the package, overwriting any other package with the
same name.
I guess if it say it overwrites other packages with the same name, it
shouldn't leave anything behind.

Yes, I'm very busy these days. I'm doing two semesters in one at the
university. I have reserved a time of my week for Debian, but I'm using
most of it to my NM process.

Sure, I think it's an easy fix. When we're sure that it should be fixed
before GHC 6.12 in Debian, I'll do it.
Greetings.
