Comment (by essandess):

 {{{ghc}}}’s user manual is built using {{{hadrian docs}}}, which itself
 uses {{{sphinx}}}/{{{xelatex}}}/{{{latex}}}:

 * https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/blob/master/hadrian/src/Builder.hs
 *
 https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/blob/master/docs/users_guide/conf.py

 Therefore, it should work to replace {{{ghc}}}’s dependency on
 {{{texlive}}} with {{{texlive-xetex}}}. And this will eliminate the
 dependency on {{{texlive-bin-extra}}}:

 {{{
 port echo rdepof:texlive-xetex | grep texlive-bin-extra
 }}}

 Definitely test beforehand with the CI within a PR, though.
