Hi!

I found one problem with recently created haskell section:

astsmtl at alpha:~$ gaze from package.conf
ghc-6.6.1:/usr/lib/ghc-6.6.1/package.conf
haskell-html-1.0:/usr/lib/ghc-6.6.1/package.conf
haskell-mtl-1.0:/usr/lib/ghc-6.6.1/package.conf
haskell-quickcheck-1.0:/usr/lib/ghc-6.6.1/package.conf
haskell-x11-1.2.2:/usr/lib/ghc-6.6.1/package.conf
haskell-x11-extras-0.2:/usr/lib/ghc-6.6.1/package.conf
astsmtl at alpha:~$ 

This file is essential because if it's removed on dispel you cannot
install haskell packages anymore. ruskie suggested that this can be
solved using excluded/protected/volatiles/configs file filters. But i
can't understand how to do it right. Personally i think that this file
should belong to ghc only and should be excluded from install logs of
other spells. Any suggestions?
