Bug Description

What I expected: Running `man hp2hs` suggests that `hp2hs` should be useable from the command line directly.

What happened: Command not found, since `hp2hs` is in /usr/lib/ghc/bin, not /usr/bin. I could not find this documented anywhere, and I only found it through a filesystem search.

It appears this is fixed in Disco, but I think it should be backported to Bionic.
