Issue created Oct 09, 2018 by judah@trac-judah

Don't include Haskeline (and others) in the global package DB

GHC installations include haskeline in their global DB, as well as its dependencies (currently: stm and terminfo). However, Haskeline isn't a dependency of the ghc library, so that shouldn't be necessary.

Originally suggested by hvr here, in response to needing to pull stm into the global DB: https://github.com/judah/haskeline/pull/61\#issuecomment-294878302

This change would let Haskeline add dependencies more easily. See in particular the pending PR to depend on the "exceptions" package: https://github.com/judah/haskeline/pull/97
