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.

Either way works for me, it is just that I'm getting build errors because our builder decides it needs to build those packages and then, because the cabal versions are the same, they collide with the .haddock files in ghc.
