 Cabal generates the {{{haddock-interfaces}}} and {{{haddock-html}}}
 package fields even if the haddock documentation is not built nor
 installed.

 Instead of assuming haddock is used, it should add the fields iff needed
 upon register (install = copy + register), where enough information should
 be available to make a more clever installation.

 Example {{{ghc-pkg describe binary}}} built without haddock:

 description: Efficient, pure binary serialisation using lazy ByteStrings.
              Haskell values may be encoded to and form binary formats,
              written to disk as binary, or sent over the network.
              Serialisation speeds of over 1 G\/sec have been observed,
              so this library should be suitable for high performance
              scenarios.

 Both {{{/usr/share/doc/binary-0.4.1/html/binary.haddock}}} and
 {{{/usr/share/doc/binary-0.4.1/html}}} are (rightfully) missing in the
 installation.
