[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

It seems to me that the license file(s) should be installed to all the
outputs.

As a side effect, this would help mitigate the missing static output
with some of the haskell packages.

Isn’t it already happening, at least with ‘gnu-build-system’?

Perhaps there are corner cases or an issue specific to
‘ghc-build-system’?

In the case of ‘git-annex’, it just needs a ‘license-file-regexp’
argument, which is easy enough to fix.  For ‘scroll’, it’s missing a
license file.  There is “GPL.hs”, but it doesn’t really count, IMO.  It
contains the text of the GPL (version 2), but as a Haskell string.  I
guess it’s better than nothing.

I think there is no bug here, just bad luck.  :)
