[Fedora-haskell-list] merging prof into devel, and coming packaging changes

Just a quick update:

ghc-rpm-macros and ghc have now been updated in rawhide
to merge -prof into -devel.  The ghc subpackages list looks
more manageable now.  So all subsequent builds for f16
won't have ghc*-prof subpackages.

Facing a slight obstacle for EPEL6: when I rebuilt ghc to add
a meta ghc-devel package a while ago all the library ABI hashes changed. :-(
Once ghc-7.2 is released it may be time to update el6 to ghc-7.0.3 anyway.
