Comment (by mgmeier):

 The only reason for haskell-names to use the type-eq package seems to be
 in its module `Language.Haskell.Names.Annotated`:
 {{{
 -- This should be incorporated into Data.Typeable soon
 import Type.Eq
 }}}
 using `dynamicEq` and `(:~:)` from that import.

 Does the current `Data.Typeable` facilitate this functionality yet? If so,
 type-eq dependency could be dropped from haskell-names (and fay, in
 consequence), as far as I can see.
