Comment (by duncan):

 One problem is that not all build-tools correspond to haskell packages.
 Some do some don't. We have a hard coded list of them at the moment (which
 can be extended in Setup.hs files) so we could extend that with what
 haskell package if any the tools correspond to. Any better suggestions to
 make it a tad more generic?
