Comment:

 I was just made aware of the tarballs with binary code in the “source”
 tarball. Theoretically, for Debian either the source of that code needs to
 be included as well, or the binaries removed. As we use none of the data
 in `ghc-tarballs`, we’d greatly appreciate a second tarball that contains
 just the GHC sources, and no third-party modules.
