Subject: Haskell packages retain references to bootstrap variants
Date: Fri, 22 May 2020 11:17:51 +0200

Some Haskell packages have a “-bootstrap” variant to cut dependency
cycles.  Unfortunately, these bootstrap variants remain in the reference
graph alongside their non-bootstrap counterparts.

An example:
