Yes.

No.



The NFData instance has been moved to the containers package, where it can 
be more efficiently done. The change is already in the latest released 
deepseq version, but will only be in the containers version to be released 
with ghc-7.4.

For your unfortunate combination, consider reverting to a prior deepseq 
version, or manually provide the instance where needed (I recommend the 
former).
