Tried that today (patch attached for reference), but does not seem to work:

[...]
Running debian/hlibrary.setup configure --ghc -v2 --package-db=/var/lib/ghc/package.conf.d --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib/haskell-packages/ghc/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --builddir=dist-ghc --ghc-option=-optl-Wl\,-z\,relro --haddockdir=/usr/lib/ghc-doc/haddock/hscolour-1.23/ --datasubdir=hscolour --htmldir=/usr/share/doc/libghc-hscolour-doc/html/ --enable-library-profiling --with-hscolour=/build/hscolour-1.23/hscolour-wrapper

'/build/hscolour-1.23/hscolour-wrapper' does not refer to an executable and
the program is not on the system path.

(That's the output of "dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -A")

Thanks.
