Ouch, this is bad. I guess we really should have removed the ghc version name from the paths before starting the migration (as that would enable use to keep using the docs even when we upgrade ghc to a new version and use binNMUs to rebuild the packages). So here is what we should do: Upload a ghc revision that uses /usr/lib/ghc/, and then do a sourceful upload of all packages who have been transitioned so far. Note that this is not a pressing issue in the sense that it should hold up the transition; that round of re-building can then happen in any order. What does the rest of the DHG think of this approach?
