* d/rules: Install /usr/share/haddock-$VERSION in ghc6-haddock package;
  these files which are required by haddock. (LP: #749963)
* d/control:
  + Add Replaces on ghc6-doc (<= ubuntu6) for the above change,
    as files now move from ghc6-doc to ghc6-haddock.
  + Make ghc6-haddock depend on ghc6 (taken from Debian)

d/scripts.mk, d/ghc6.triggers.in: Make trigger file dynamic on the
upstream version number; previously hardcoded the GHC version number
which meant that the trigger would never have fired. Fix taken from
Debian's darcs repository.

Compile with -mminimal-toc on ppc64.

Do not provide libghc6-utf8-string-dev, because utf8-string is no
longer installed. (LP: #706215)

d/p/rts-types-ftbfs: Rename eventlog-postlogmsg-ftbfs to
rts-types-ftbfs as the armel build now fails with a similar error at a
different location. Patch that one too.

d/p/eventlog-postlogmsg-ftbfs: Add new patch to pass a pointer in the
4th argument, resolving FTBFS on armel

* Merge with Debian experimental, remaining changes:
  + debian/patches/linker-scripts: Backport upstream patch from trac#2615
    to resolve runtime failure when explicitly linking with -lpthread due
    to it being a linker script (introduced in ubuntu2). (LP: #689496)
  + debian/patches/unix-pthread-trac-4523: Apply patch from upstream BTS #4523
    to add missing linker reference to pthread, which caused linking
    failures in depending packages when attempting to link with the unix
    library on armel.

* debian/patches/unix-pthread-trac-4523: Apply patch from upstream BTS #4523
  to add missing linker reference to pthread, which caused linking failuers in
  depending packages when attempting to link with the unix library on armel.
* debian/rules, debian/patches/ghc-pkg-pthread: Add -optl-pthread to
  explicitly link with -lpthread. This is a temporary fix to make the
  GHC used for bootstrapping work correctly on armel.

* Backport some fixes from Debian experimental to fix issues in the
  Ubuntu package without having to upgrade to a new release. The
  following changelog entries are copied from the Debian
  changelog. Thanks to Kari Pahula (kaol) for implementing the
  fixes. As soon as 6.12.3 is in unstable, ghc6 can be synced again.
* Only insert packages in gen_contents_index which are both registered
  and for which the html directory exists.
* Use ghc-pkg --global in ghc6's trigger to avoid accessing HOME.
  (Closes: #578679) (LP: #596784)
* Fix directories in haddock manpage. (Closes: #578321)
* Downgrade ghc6's dependency on perl to Suggests and have ghc6-doc
  depend on perl. (Closes: #553332)
* Standards-Version 3.9.0 (no changes necessary)
* ghc6 package now provides ghc6-ghci on architectures where it's
  supported (i386 and amd64 only currently).
