Comment (by duncan):

 Note that this means that the libs do not build 'out of the box' with
 Cabal and thus the aim of the modular release is partly defeated.

 Gentoo does actually build all the extra libs in a modular fashion so it
 does affect us. We will have to patch this anyway for a ghc 6.6 ebuild (or
 rather for each individual library ebuild). So if we sent in a patch to
 fix this (ie just copy the Setup.hs from the other packages) would that be
 ok?
