I think this dates from a time when ghc and nhc98/hugs had different
libraries; you should get a different file copied/symlinked depending on
which compiler is being used.

I think this is a target I added that either installs just the tools, or
one that installs just the libraries (as hat wasn't designed to support
multiple implementations with a single set of tools).

It sounds like you have some of the Debian packaging stuff but not all
of it? (perhaps just the debian/ directory?)
