Sid is like this. Use testing instead.
Or wait a few days, till somebody uploads a fixed set of packages.

Since that's a preremoval script, waiting won't help. Luckily, the
fix is simple: he needs to get ghc-pkg onto his system. Installing
the package "ghc6" should do the trick.

GHC6 is already installed on my system apparently.

Ah, sorry. I somehow misread / hallucinated that you got the message
"ghc-pkg: command not found". If you had, my fix would have worked
great. :-)
According to http://bugs.debian.org/507338, the fix here is to edit
