I'd just like to point you to [0]. There are some upcoming changes to  
Haskell packaging in Debian. This, combined with the rebuilds (and  
porting?) that will be required, make me think that it's probably a  
better idea to hold off for a bit. I must admit that I'm not  
completely familiar with Debian's Haskell packaging, but it does seem  
to me that they aren't done with 6.10.1 yet. It seems like this truly  
is "experimental" (not to knock anyone, of course - this is a great  
effort).

Actually, I wonder if there would be any appetite for a Debian/Ubuntu  
Haskell packaging team? I see Ian Lynagh has put all of his packages  
up for adoption, seems like a good opportunity for collaboration.  
Stefan, Alessio, would you be interested in joining me on the Ubuntu  
side? There's been talk of this a few times in the past but discussion  
has always stalled.

Iain
