I'd rather have haskell-parallel-2.2.0.1 in [extra].

The distinction between haskell-X and haskell-hp-X sounds good in theory,
but I don't believe that the consequences of that change are sufficiently
understood, nor am I convinced that we posses a tool-chain that's capable of
taking advantage of that distinction. At this point in time, that change
looks like a lot of risks and very little payoff.

Take care,
Peter
