 This is potentially bad when multiple GHC versions are installed - last
 installed one overwrites all the docs.

 It seems like docs are installed under {{{$PACKAGE_TARNAME}}}, and tarname
 is initialized as {{{"ghc"}}} in the {{{ac}}} file. I guess one solution
 would be to add version suffix to tarname (it seems like tarname is only
 used when installing docs) or alternatively use
 {{{${PACKAGE_TARNAME}-${PACKAGE_VERSION}}}} to install docs.
