Thanks for following up.

Right this is currently how ghc names shared libraries.
The filenames are actually "versioned" - it is just that the version
comes before the .so extension.

I am happy to open a bug for that against ghc but I hope it need not
block this review: it is not something we can fix in this package anyway.
But note that ghc does not have the notion of major/minor libraries
versions - every version bumps needs rebuilds anyway.

I think it might be better to patch ghc to change how it names .so files:
need to think a bit more.  Basically it is how ghc has named them
since it started supporting shared libraries many releases ago now.

ghc-7.10 should introduce support for dwarf debuginfo I think,
so I decided to wait with debuginfo until then -
I don't think it is useful currently with ghc-7.8.
