I wonder if we shouldn’t rather not ship these libraries with GHC, and
instead package them separately. That way, we can update them
independently.

It seems to me (other than binary) those libraries are not actually provided by the ghc package, the .haddock files just snuck into the ghc-doc package.

Ignore that, I was looking at an old build of ghc.
