As I understand it, the plan is to modify the following packages in
hackage in-situ to remove the test sections (which contain the troublesome
conditionals):

  HUnit-1.2.5.0
  bloomfilter-1.2.6.10
  codemonitor-0.1
  codemonitor-0.2
  fixhs-0.1.4
  leksah-server-0.12.0.3
  leksah-server-0.12.0.4
  leksah-server-0.12.0.5
  pqc-0.5
  pqc-0.5.1

Does anyone object?
