just wondering, since we need to add so many: Woundn’t it be easier to
introduce a source package "haskell-doc-dummies" providing all the dummy
package? This way, we would not have to change and rebuild 25 packages
now and 25 package in two releases, when we want to finally drop the
wrong names?

Joachim
