Dear Maintainer,

When a newline is entered into a buffer in Haskell mode, the view is
split and a *Help* buffer appears displaying documentation for
haskell-mode-hook.  That is, it displays:

This occurs even when starting emacs as `emacs -q test.hs`, suggesting
this is not a problem with my configuration.

Thanks!

In fact it's not quite being copious enough. In emacs23 (I didn't have
24.3 on hand) it actually tells you that you want to
turn-on-haskell-indent or equivalent to set up some haskell indentation
mode.  You will notice a similar strange effect if you hit tab. I think
the best workaround is to add a more complete configuration for
haskell-mode to your .emacs.d/init.el.

I doubt I'll personally have time to work on a better default config
before "Freeze Hardening" on December 5th, so we may have to live with
this for Jessie unless Barak has some inspiration.

Makes sense.  The problem I'm having is that it's not clear how to turn
it off, especially since I don't want any indentation.

I think what you want then is to turn off electric-indent-mode, perhaps
in a hook of haskell-mode. I have a vague memory that the default for
this mode changed in 24.4.

UNTESTED:

(add-hook 'haskell-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
                  (electric-indent-local-mode -1)))

That is exactly what I want, thanks!
