So I guess ghc needs to add some Obsoletes for
ghc-time{,-devel,-doc,-prof}? According to dead.package it is now
included in ghc:
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/ghc-time/devel/dead.package?revision=1.1&view=markup

Would this be correct?

ghc:
Obsoletes: ghc-time < 1.1.2.5
Obsoletes: ghc-time-devel < 1.1.2.5

ghc-doc:
Obsoletes: ghc-time-doc < 1.1.2.5

ghc-prof:
Obsoletes: ghc-time-prof < 1.1.2.5

But what about provides, would it be

Provides: ghc-time-1.1.4-%{release} etc? Given that version 1.1.4 of
ghc-time is included in ghc?

For me it is not that easy, because the information is confusion (or not
clearly arranged) or not directly accessible, e.g. to understand the
compat-db problems one needs to look at the koji page for the list of
built rpms. So here the release of compat-db needs to be increased to
11 in F13?
