lintian: don't check haskell library packages for doc-base registration



Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.1
Severity: normal


Lintian is currently generating warnings for the -doc version of haskell library
packages like this:

    I: libghc6-XXX-doc: possible-documentation-but-no-doc-base-registration
    N: 
    N:    The package ships a .html or .pdf file under /usr/share/doc/, which are
    N:    usually documentation, but it does not register anything in doc-base.
    N:    (Files under an examples directory are excluded.)
    N:    
    N:    Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 9.10 (Registering Documents using
    N:    doc-base) for details.
    N:    
    N:    Severity: wishlist, Certainty: possible

This warning is redundant because all haskell library packages generated with
haskell-devscripts already link their documentation under the documenation of
the GHC haskell compiler.

Basically any package with a name matching the regex 'libghc-.*-doc' should
skip the possible-documentation-but-no-doc-base-registration test.
