Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 I'm of two minds on this. On one hand, if you're using the `devel2`
 flavour, you most likely only care about debugging GHC itself, and you
 probably don't care about frivolities like Haddock. On the other hand,
 Haddock //is// a pretty integral part of the GHC bindist, and it could be
 argued that not building it in `devel2` is tantamount to not testing an
 important code path.

 (FWIW, I first noticed this quirk when using the `quick` flavour, which is
 another place where the `make`-based build system also did not build
 Haddock. I suppose I rationalized this as trying to finish the build,
 y'know, //quick//ly as possible, but this reasoning might not actually
 hold water in light of the reasoning above.)
