I think we should get input from Timothy, Ricardo, and anyone with an
interest in Haskell packaging.  But I think you’re a good candidate for
the honorific position of Haskell Package Overseer.  :-)

Regarding the module organization, I think it makes sense to add more
haskell-*.scm modules, though I’m unsure about the hackage splitting you
propose—is it helpful to split it like this?

Thoughts?
