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}.

NAME

       dh_haskell_extra_depends - generate the extra-depends file in Haskell packages

SYNOPSIS

       dh_extra_haskell_depends [debhelper options] [-Xpackage] [--exclude=package] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_haskell_extra_depends is a debhelper program that helps with calculating dependencies for building Haskell libraries.

       Since Haskell libraries are statically linked, packagers that use Haskell libraries cannot rely on the fact that dynamical libraries are
       dependencies of their packages to be sure that possible runtime data packages are installed at execution time. The extra dependencies
       mechanism allows libraries to declare some packages that are to be added to the dependency list of each package that uses them to build.

       This script scans the Haskell dependencies and harvest extra dependencies information, putting them in the file debian/extra-depends, which
       is later used by dh_haskell_depends to be included in the substvars file.

BUGS

       None, as far as we know. :-)
