NAME
       dh_haskell_provides - calculates Haskell virtual package names on Cabalized libraries

SYNOPSIS
       dh_haskell_provides [debhelper options] [-Xpackage] [--exclude=package] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_haskell_provides is a debhelper program that calculates the correct virtual package to provide, so that dependencies can guarantee ABI
       stability.

       For a package with an idea of package-version-longhashstring, it generates a virtual package of the form libghc-package-dev-version-longh
       for the -dev package and libghc-package-prof-version-longh for the prof package respectively.

       This script writes the debian/$package.substvars file, including in it the haskell:Provides.  So, to use this package, include in the
       Provides: field in debian/control ${haskell:Provides}.
