old-time on hackage is incorrectly packaged

old-time is missing its ./configure script:

http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/old-time

$ tar xzf old-time-1.0.0.0.tar.gz 
$ cd old-time-1.0.0.0
$ ls
LICENSE  Setup.hs  System  cbits  include  old-time.cabal

It needs:

$ cd ghc/libraries/old-time 
$ ls
LICENSE   System  aclocal.m4      cbits      configure.ac  old-time.cabal
Setup.hs  _darcs  autom4te.cache  configure  include       prologue.t

i.e. its ./configure script.

This leads to cabal install failures, for example
