I assume you mean /usr/share/doc/ghc/html/libraries ?

While that directory is owned by ghc-compiler most of the content
in there is from various libraries.

At a minimum, ghc-compiler pulls in ghc-base-devel which contains:

15M    base-4.6.0.1/
2.5M    ghc-prim-0.3.0.0/
392K    integer-gmp-0.5.0.0/

ghc-compiler does own /usr/share/doc/ghc/html/libraries/doc-index-All.html
(21M)
which is a ghost file generated if then ghc-doc-index cronjob is installed.

(ghc-ghc-devel's doc is the largest: 62M)

I guess you're really suggesting that Haskell libraries
use subpackages for their docs.  That is quite a big
packaging structural change but maybe it is worth doing
for F22.  The downside to that is that docs of deps
are used when generating lib docs so we need to add
BRs for all the docs packages too across 280+ packages
so it is not a completely trivial change but it is possible.
