Hi, I'm the maintainer of ghcup. Nice work!

I'm wondering if it makes sense to add all of the GHC/Cabal dependencies as optional (the ones you need to use the ghc binary etc.): gcc, gmp, libffi, ncurses.

I'm not sure whether I would consider curl optional. It's true you can tell both ghcup and cabal to use wget, but both use curl as default. I guess this depends on packaging policies.

For better shell integration this package could install an /usr/share/ghcup/env file with the following contents:

export PATH="$HOME/.cabal/bin:${GHCUP_INSTALL_BASE_PREFIX:=$HOME}/.ghcup/bin:$PATH"

And then write a post install message:

Add the following line to e.g. your .bashrc: [ -f "/usr/share/ghcup/env" ] && source /usr/share/ghcup/env
To use ghcup in your current terminal session, run: source /usr/share/ghcup/env

Cheers.
