[arch-haskell] How to currently install haskell packages?

[Jonathan Lahav]

Sorry, I send a private mail by mistake. Resending.

Can it be that haskell-text in extra depends on haskell-deepseq which is
provided by ghc in *testing*?
I may be mistaken but this it what I understand from haskell-text package
page on archlinux.org.
