Data.Time.*, including Data.Time.Clock and Data.Time.Format, are the 
"new-style" API to times and dates, but they still use the TimeLocale 
data type from old-locale, so I guess that time-1.1.2 still "depends on" 
  old-locale-1.0.0.0.

I agree it seems strange because the naming convention "old-" does 
appear to suggest deprecation.
