Umm...
But who puts "example.txt" on /usr/share/doc/libghc-*-doc/html path?
I think the path is haddock's html directory.

Ah!
How about haskell-devscripts add @url line to txt file by
haddock-collect command?
Now debian's hooglize process is...
(haddock)=> txt file =(haddock-collect)=> txt file with @url line
=(hoogle)=> foo file ...
Txt file doesn't know the path for html.
But "txt file with @url line" know the path.
Then "txt file with @url line" is relocatable for
/usr/lib/ghc-doc/haddock/ or /usr/lib/ghc-doc/hoogle/.
All libghc-*-doc and ghc-doc packages should have "txt file with @url line"?
I think "txt file with @url line" should be named with another extension.
I will try to implement it, if get the team's go sign.
