Hi,

This patch must have slipped through the cracks, but it was mentioned
on IRC today, so I decided to do a little review :)

First of all,

(1) You should have one commit per package.
(2) It's better, though not required, to use the procedure described here[1]
    to send patches, instead of using attachments. This makes it much easier
    to annotate the patch with review comments, at least here in aerc :)

> +       ("ghc-quickcheck" ,ghc-quickcheck)
> +       ("ghc-semigroupoids" ,ghc-semigroupoids)))

You should use the "new style" of inputs:

> +    (inputs
> +     (list ghc-random
> +           ghc-quickcheck
> +           ghc-semigroupoids))

Same for any native- and propagated- inputs.

> +       ("3" "1ndz5x6njl35h73il5c6qpaqd4ynvg21n6k7sb8aq09gfbg544d8")))

There's also a new arguments style:

> +    (arguments
> +     (list #:cabal-revision
> +           (list "3" "1ndz5x6njl35h73il5c6qpaqd4ynvg21n6k7sb8aq09gfbg544d8")))

> +    (description

This is a wee bit too long IMO.
