Comment (by guest):

 A purely documentation build does too need depended-on packages!  At least
 if:

 it re-exports any functions or data types from another package (whether
 that package gives them documentation strings or not)

 it exports a type depending on a type-synonym in another package

 etc.

 Also I think the way Haddock 2 is designed, using the GHC API, even in
 "simpler" cases there is probably necessarily a requirement on the
 depended-upon packages (.hi files) to be available.
