Alas, since the `ghc` package (implementing the GHC API) is certainly an installed package, all the packages on which it depends must also be installed, and hence willy-nilly become part of the Haskell Platform. In practice that means that almost all the Boot Packages are installed. In some cases that is unfortunate. For example, we currently have a special version of the `binary` library, which we don't really expect Haskell users to use; in this case, we call it `ghc-binary`, and informally discourage its use.

Currently the Boot Packages that are not installed are `haskelline`, `mtl`, and `terminfo`; these are needed to build the GHC front-end, but not to build the `ghc`*package*.

**QUESTION**: where in the build system is the list of installed packages defined?
