Comment (by ezyang):

 I thought there was a ticket which caused us to link `-package` eagerly,
 but this code is actually quite old:

 {{{
 commit ef5b4b146aa172d8ac10f39b5eb3d7a0f948d8f1
 Author: simonmar <unknown>
 Date:   Fri Nov 26 16:22:13 2004 +0000

     [project @ 2004-11-26 16:19:45 by simonmar]
     Further integration with the new package story.  GHC now supports
     pretty much everything in the package proposal.
 }}}
