Package https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hasktags does it all
for you automatically at buffer save IIRC. I don't even remember
how it works, because I've never had a problem in years.
OTOH, I use the same haskell-mode as 10 years ago, having
decided after a few botched upgrades that it's good enough.
