[Fedora-haskell-list] merge -doc and -prof subpackages into -devel

I gather there is going to be a ghc-6.12.3 release and also gtk2hs
will move to separate modular packages.

I thinking for F14 to change ghc-rpm-macros to combine -doc and -prof
with -devel so that
libraries only generate the base package with shared lib and devel
subpackage with the rest.

Yes it will make the devel package slightly fatter (mostly from -prof)
but it saves
a lot of overhead installing all those subpackages, so I think it is worth it.

If ghc decides to formally separate different flavours of libs like
prof in the future (eg for 6.14+)
we could consider separating the flavours if it seems useful.

Any comments, thoughts, objections?

Jens
