[Bug 416477] Re: ghc6 should depend on readline/libedit in Karmic?

[Simon Marlow]

GHCi now uses Haskeline (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskeline),
a readline-clone written in Haskell.  readline was initially replaced by
libedit for licensing reasons, but libedit had a number of problems
prompting the switch to Haskeline.

Debian/Ubuntu could decide unilaterally to use readline instead; I
believe the Gentoo folks are doing (or planning to do) this.  I
personally don't feel strongly - Haskeline is working well enough for
me.
