[ghci] HOME, END, DELETE and BACKSPACE keys input garbage instead of being interpreted - libedit-dev missing in ghc6 >=6.10's build-deps

Binary package hint: ghc6

If you press HOME, END, DELETE or BACKSACE key in ghci prompt garbage characters are inputed, which is definitely not a desirable behaviour.

You only need to add libedit-dev to build-deps to make ghci interpret these keys correctly.

see http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Preparation/Linux and http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2606

I can confirm it really helps:

aptitude install libedit-dev
apt-src install ghc6
cd ghc ....
dpkg-buildpackage
dpkg -i ../ghc....

and the keys work as they are supposed to :-)

thanks!
