Comment (by nomeata):

 unnatural and awkward.

 I’m not sure about this: If the `.so` file is put in a private location
 (not `/usr/lib`, what’s wrong with that)?

 I’d actually prefer if GHC would ship as few packages as little, so that
 as many packages as possible can be packaged and installed in the “common”
 way.
