Hi,

I reported and fixed the problem of cabal-debian around detecting GHC built-ins.

cabal-debian searches `package.conf.d' from output of `dpkg -L ghc',
for example under `/var/lib/ghc/package.conf.d/',
and matches filenames like `base-4.9.0.0.conf'.
Under ghc-7.10, checksum suffix exists like
`base-4.8.2.0-0d6d1084fbc041e1cded9228e80e264d.conf',
but under ghc-8 it does not.

Please review this fix, and upload.

Fortunately or unfortunately, I made extensive changes to this code in November:

Could you test the latest version of cabal-debian and see if it resolves your issue? Thanks!
