I added a comment that ghc-9.0.2 needs >= 8.8 to build and I removed the
extra git input (it was also inherited from 8.10). You might be
interested to know that when staging is eventually merged we've shorted
the bootstrap path slightly by trying to skip a few versions while
building out, so 9.2.x will hopefully also be buildable with 8.10.

Thanks! Patch pushed.
