apt-get install haskell-platform doesn't install stack on WSL Ubuntu #332

Hi,

after running the apt-get install haskell-platform command and invoking stack --version I get the following error:

Command 'stack' not found, but can be installed with:

sudo apt install haskell-stack

Shouldn't stack be available straight away?

Ubuntu/debian's thing it packages as haskell-platform indeed is based on an old listing and doesn't include stack. That's just how they do it, nothing to be done by us about it...
