Glad to hear it.  I checked the ghc-libmpd package, and have a few notes
(in addition to what Ludo said about moving it).

Maybe drop the anchor here (the “#readme” part).  The linter complains
about it, and I don’t think it adds much.

This might be better if it mentions Haskell and spells out the
initialism: “Haskell client library for the Music Player Daemon (MPD)”.

> +    (description "A client library for MPD, the Music Player Daemon.")

We try to use complete sentences in the description.  Often, you just
need to add the words “this package provides” to the beginning.  For
this, I might write:

    This package provides a pure Haskell client library for the Music
    Player Daemon (MPD).

Other than that it looks good!
