[bug#35907] note

Note that I’m not sure it’s actually a good idea to exclude (all of) these 
packages
from the dependencies: They’re mostly bundled with ghc because they are used in 
the
ghc build. As such, it might well be that future ghc versions switch out e.g.
“bytestring” for some alternate data structure, which would then require 
changes to
all package definitions that currently silently depend on “bytestring”.

Should I include a patch to remove the explicitly packaged `ghc-text` and other
packages of this type?
