I'll drop the split as of GHC 6.8.3, unless someone can think of a
good reason to keep it within the next few days.
I will make ghc obsolete ghc682, ghc681, ghc661, and ghc66, which will
cover us all the way back to Fedora 6 or so. I'll also make ghc-prof
obsolete ghc682-prof, ghc681-prof, ghc661-prof, and ghc66-prof.
I suggest we still keep the ghc-doc and ghc-prof subpackages anyway.
Yes, definitely.

Ok - that might have related to the versioned packages too.
Actually, it seems to be intentional on the part of upstream, but the
comments in the build files don't indicate why.

Right that is a hack.
I've got a bug open now to fix the appropriate SELinux policies.
