I took "manually remove the ebuild" to mean do all the remove steps
myself, but I don't have any idea what those steps are.  Do you think
it means the actual haxml-1.13.2.ebuild file?  I'd be willing to try
that, but that is the most recent ebuild.

It all started with complaints about cabal being out of date and
needing to run ghc-updater, which came up with a dozen packages to
remerge.  I tried remerging cabal itself, which didn't hang up, but
ghc-updater still wants to merge haxml.
