I've the same problem, it seems that haddock's data-files are not
installed anywhere by ghc's build system, even if they are present in
the tarball under utils/haddock.

/local/maeder/share/doc/ghc/html/html/haddock.css seems to be the .css
for the main documentation index, i don't think it makes sense for
haddock to take the default files from there.

A workaround could be a separate installation of haddock (assuming
it'll look for the files where cabal will install them), but i
couldn't find a ghc-paths updated for 6.12.
