 I'm forwarding Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/533022 for your
 consideration.
 ----
 Data.Word defines signed and unsigned integer types for various bit
 sizes.  It would help if Data.Word made each type an instance of Random.
 Per http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Orphan_instance , such an
 instance should appear either in System.Random or Data.Word, and it
 makes more sense to do the latter.
