I'm rather surprised about that (it doesn't occur on the
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS PPA builds)... is this occuring on a vanilla Debian
Wheezy?

Btw, I've got proper 7.8.1 PPA .debs:

 https://launchpad.net/~hvr/+archive/ghc/+build/5888874

 https://launchpad.net/~hvr/+archive/ghc/+build/5888875

...when do you plan to build respective 7.8.1 debs for
http://deb.haskell.org/stable/ ?
