If you don't want ghc-ghc* installed then you can just
install the ghc-devel (ghc-libraries) metapackage instead.

Pardon?

So just "yum remove ghc-ghc".
uninstalling ghc-ghc-devel also gets rid of ghc package(base O MB) but then
again why should I download 34 MB if I know I am gonna uninstall it anyway ?.
I think it is natural for anyone who wants to install ghc, to do
yum install ghc , the problem is ghc-ghc-devel is set as dependency, I can't
install ghc without ghc-ghc-devel.
I don't want to install haskell-platform, it comes with some other things,
which I don't need/want or even know how to use.
My request is simple, remove ghc-ghc-devel package from the deps of ghc. I can
live with current deps (grudgingly :)),but would be cool if u remove some
bloat though.
