ghc-pkg complains about missing haddock interface files

As Conal reported on the mailing list[1], ghc-pkg check on Mavericks allegedly returns:

bash-3.2$ ghc-pkg check
    Warning: haddock-interfaces: /Users/conal/.cabal/share/doc/x86_64-osx-ghc-7.8.1/uniplate-1.6.12/html/uniplate.haddock doesn't exist or isn't a file

It's not fatal, but makes the output much more annoying. I figured this would have been caught by validate or somesuch, but apparently not.

Marking for 7.8.2. I'm looking into this soon.
