how about ghc-minimal? like it should give,
ghci(interpreter),ghc(compiler),runghc for shebang style-scripts and the
standard libraries with -devel of each of them.

At the time of my original bug-report, I was just learning haskell, I now
prototype data-driven programs in haskell, before writing them in fortran/C.

I used to do that in python previously, even now I use python heavily, just
that haskell is way cooler :)
