What you say here seems to be somewhat at odds with what is written in the 
below documentation:

<http://www.haskell.org/hierarchical-modules/libraries/reference-libraries.html>

Specifically where it says:

``If, however, you are providing a library for any other part of the 
hierarchy [not in User or Org], then the module names in the should be 
allocated.''

Your disagreement might be okay.  This documentation is quite old, and 
might be out of date.  However, if this is the case then might I suggest 
it either be removed from haskell.org or somehow marked as being obsolete.
