One could have made ghc build-depend on ghc (>= 7.8) to make that more explicit, but it doesn’t really gain anything: Anyone trying to bootstrap the compiler would have to override that dependency anyways. I’m inclined to leave it like that, and hope that everyone who stumbles over the issue will find this conversation. > While I was working on the package I also noticed that the clean > target doesn't seem to cleanup config.sub and config.guess resulting > in a failure to build the source package if you start the build again > after a build failure. I’ve seen this before, but because I always build with sbuild, it did not itch me too much so far. Patches welcome. If anyone feels like cleaning stuff up; ghc’s debian/rules is quite convoluted and could use some re-thinking. But again, not a high priority, at least for me.
