Debian (and in extension, Ubuntu) builds a ghc-dynamic package
(http://packages.debian.org/sid/ghc-dynamic) on i386 and amd64, but does
not build -dyn variants of the packaged libraries. So you base and
everything that comes with ghc is covered, everything else (including
stuff like mtl) is not.

Greetings,
Joachim
