Currently a number of Haskell packages have bundled subpackages due to lack of package review manpower: package reviews take time and often a library only has a single consuming dependent package, so just bundling that library as a subpackage is fairly harmless in the short term, or it can even prevent package retirement! But this makes the packages rather harder to maintain over time: harder to update and track the versions of the bundled libraries. Later another package may gain a dependency on the bundled library and now that package will depend indirectly on the base package which bundles the library (in terms of source dependencies).
This ticket is about reducing this technical debt: while reaching and maintaining zero would be ideal in practice there are older less active packages with self-contained bundling which is less of an issue: the first priority should be getting rid of newer subpackaging and specially for higher profile packages, and particularly any shared dependencies.
This is the list as of F32:

[f31] means added for f31
[f31]
[f32] means added for f32
[f32]
✖ means dropped in lts-15
✅ means has approved package review
When choosing a package to package, please check the latest lts 15/16 package version to confirm the current dependencies.
The above list needs refreshing now that f33 Rawhide packages were updated. Be sure to check rawhide before taking on any of these, thanks
