Haskell packages retain references to “doc” outputs, negating the
effects of splitting packages into different outputs.

Take ghc-scientific as an example.  “guix gc -R” lists these doc outputs:

/gnu/store/lvas21ha80yp02lc3z8fgpcaf59n1jp7-ghc-unordered-containers-bootstrap-0.2.10.0-doc

The references are likely due to the “haddock-interfaces” and
“haddock-html” fields in the generated “.conf” files.  These .conf files
belong to the “lib” directory (so either the “out” output or “lib”
output) and refer to the “doc” output.

“haddock-html” appears to be optional, but “haddock-interfaces” might be
mandatory.

Nixpkgs has the same problem:

    https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/87267

Some of the discussion is only available in *video* format, so I’m
watching that now to see if it contains any valuable insights.
