Subject: Haskell packages retain references to documentation outputs
Date: Fri, 22 May 2020 11:15:54 +0200

Haskell packages retain references to “doc” outputs, negating the
effects of splitting packages into different outputs.

Take ghc-scientific as an example.  “guix gc -R” lists these doc outputs:
