Because it is too new; all packages not using it were packaged before the feature was added.

Maybe you can first gather (e.g. from the Contents files) a list of all haskell packages that have something in /usr/share/foo-1.2.3 and have a quick look if the path is also hard-coded in debian/* or so. But I believe that all packages that _do_ ship something there have that flag already in debian/rules, so it certainly makes sense to adjust haskell-devscripts to that behaviour. > (Also, I've added http support for read-only access in > pkg-haskell-checkout.

There should be!
