Is there some "ideal" package size?  If one module is too small, but the
current size of the base package is too large...

A separate 'text' package seems like a useful concept, to accumulate
various textual file formats and text-processing libraries.  How about
it initially contains these:

    Text.Html
    Text.Regex
    Text.PrettyPrint.*
    Text.ParserCombinators.*
    Text.Printf
