same on Debian, file:///usr/share/doc/ghc-doc/html/libraries/index.html
is one of the most-visited locations in my computer :-)

For Debian, you can check where we deviate from the Haskell Platform on
http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/platform.html
and 
http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/hackagevsdebian.html
gives you an idea of our coverage of Hackage.

And, something that we are proud of: The dependencies between the
Haskell library packages include the ABI hash, so an apt-get upgrade
will never break installed Haskell libraries, but only upgrade if all
depending packages have been rebuilt.

Greetings,
Joachim
