It might be sensible to remove the use of corePackages in:

] removeCoreFrom :: [Dependency] -> [Dependency]

Considering the current ghc now provides haskell-* packages for all of
it's core libraries:

   Provides       : haskell-array=0.3.0.0  haskell-bytestring=0.9.1.5  haskell-cabal=1.8.0.2  
                    haskell-containers=0.3.0.0  haskell-directory=1.0.1.0  
                    haskell-extensible-exceptions=0.1.1.1  haskell-filepath=1.1.0.3  
                    haskell-haskell98=1.0.1.1  haskell-hpc=0.5.0.4  
                    haskell-old-locale=1.0.0.2  haskell-old-time=1.0.0.3  
                    haskell-pretty=1.0.1.1  haskell-process=1.0.1.2  haskell-random=1.0.0.2  
                    haskell-syb=0.1.0.2  haskell-template-haskell=2.4.0.0  
                    haskell-time=1.1.4  haskell-unix=2.4.0.0  haskell-utf8-string=0.3.4

That would make all library dependencies explicit (well other than
base). If ghc continues to reduce the set of core libraries (ex. mtl is
missing from 6.12), pkgbuilds will have to be updated less frequently.

But perhaps such a change isn't worth the extra time pacman will then
take to resolve dependencies... and also other bugs in yaourt it might
expose.
