Changes (by gershomb):

 * status:  upstream => closed
 * resolution:   => invalid


Comment:

 Closing this as invalid as it is an HP issue, which in general should be
 reported here: https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform

 That said, these two directories are not places that the platform
 installer itself creates or installs things to. They are, however, the
 directories that cabal will create and install things to by default when
 you `cabal install` an executable , and thus the platform installer
 (correctly) adds them to your path as a convenience. We can document this
 behavior further, but I see no need to change it.
