Allow the testsuite to be run with a DEBUG compiler

It fails for me, but not consistently - possibly only with a validate
build. Seems plausible that the problem is something like library build
flags.

-l = Data.Sequence.Seq (Data.Sequence.Deep 3
-                                          (Data.Sequence.One (Data.Sequence.Elem 'a')) Data.Sequence.Empty
-                                          (Data.Sequence.Two (Data.Sequence.Elem 'b') (Data.Sequence.Elem 'c')))
+l = <Data.Sequence.Deep> (<Data.Sequence.One> 'a') <Data.Sequence.Empty>
+                         (<Data.Sequence.Two> 'b' 'c')

6.8.2 and soon-to-be-6.8.3 fail it the normal,ghci,threaded1 ways.

The output looks OK to me, although I'm not sure why it differs to the HEAD.

(in the 6.8 branch only)

It was hitting the timeout limit

"ghc-pkg describe testpkg-*" wasn't matching anything; looks like it
looks at the package name in isolation, rather than considering the
package name and version together.

Fixes its output when running the ghci way

We don't support --interactive -prof
