The PKGBUILD and .install generated by cabal2arch already results in packages
that prevent multiple versions of the same library to be installed at the same
time, so I'll put the documentation in /usr/share/doc/${pkgname}.

What size is "big"?  I suspect that the only haskell package containing enough
docs to warrant a separate -doc package is GHC itself.
