[Haskell-cafe] Problems with split-objs

[Magnus Therning]

I've followed the instructions at [1] to create a .deb of vty[2].  It
seems the helper scripts for Debian passes `--enable-split-obj' when
running `./Setup.lhs configure'.  This results in numerous multiple
definitions of stuff.  I have a few questions regarding this...

I think I understand what --split-objs does, but why doesn't it work for
vty?  I've debianised other haskell libs using the same method without
problems.  The only difference I can see is that vty uses FFI.  Is that
what causes the problems?

How do I fix this?  I'd rather not go in and manually change any
automatically generated files, and the file that passes
`--enable-split-objs' is automatically generated :(

What if I don't want to obey the laws? Do they throw me in jail with
the other bad monads?
