New description:

 Suggestion:
 for every package show which other packages (if any) depend on it.

 Why?

 Many packages on http://hackage.haskell.org/ do not provide examples or
 documentation. It could be very helpful to look at packages which use the
 package on is interested in.

 This can be made easier if every package on http://hackage.haskell.org/
 displays which other packages depend on it.
