allright, added the -t that should have been there and re-tested various order of installing and purging ghc-doc and libghc-xhtml-doc. Thinks work smoothly, with one drawback: If ghc-doc is removed before libghc-xhtml-doc, /usr/lib/ghc-doc/haddock/ is left over as an empty directory. Because ghc-doc cannot remove it, as the .haddock file from libghc-xhtml-doc resides in it. And when libghc-xhtml-doc is removed, dpkg only removes the .haddock file and symlink that used to be the directory it was in. Theoretically, the correct solution is to undo the symlinking and moving the files back when ghc-doc is removed. But this would require remembering where the files came from and does not seem to be worth the trouble and risk of breakage. If later ghc-doc is re-installed, things are fine again. Also, once all libghc-*-doc packages move their -doc files to the proper location, the problem will disappear automatically.
