Comment (by neverpanic):
Some of your examples do not apply – for example, `hs-zlib` isn't the same
thing as `zlib`, since the former contains bindings for the zlib library
for Haskell, whereas `cpphs` and `hs-cpphs` indeed provide the same thing.
However, most of the hs- ports are dead anyway. Our new approach is to
package the `stack` tool and use that in all ports that need a haskell
compiler to build. There is no added value to providing the various `hs-`
library ports anymore, so they should just be deleted.
