That sounds like a simple packaging error in the ubuntu .deb.  The
version numbers certain ought to match.

I seem to recall that some Debian-based packages of hmake have a
configuration that is independent of installed compilers - it knows only
about "haskell-compiler", but not ghc specifically.

You can easily tell hmake to learn about ghc however:
    hmake-config ghc
