Hi,

They are usually named "libghc-.*-dev", but I think it is safer to match
on the target of the rpath: If it is in /usr/lib/ghc/, it is ok.

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/using-shared-libs.html#finding-shared-libs-unix

Because I believe this falls under the exception

        Currently, the only generally accepted use of this feature in
        Debian is to add non-standard library path
        (like /usr/lib/<package>) to libraries that are only intended to
        be used by the executables or other libraries within the same
        source package. 
        
with the small twist that they are not all built from the same source
package, but in all cases it is the single "ghc" package that decides on
these locations and handles the rpaths.

I can amend the wiki once a decision has been made.


Greetings,
Joachim
