GHC 7.10.1 html docs all flat?

The HP build expects that the html docs for the ghc-bundled packages will be in
heirarchical directories, based on the package name (e.g., GHC.Magic docs in
libraries/ghc-prim-0.3.1.0/GHC-Magic.html) which is how it has been for many
ghc releases.  In 7.10.1, I thought it was an error but it seems the
haskell.org docs reflect this new, flat way (e.g,. GHC.Magic docs in
libraries/GHC-Magic.html).


Just want to make sure this is what is expected, and then change the HP
build code accordingly.


Follow up question: should the HP-bundled docs do the same thing?  Is the

flat model the way to go for all the docs?  Won't this cause collisions for

updated packages?
