 For a start, both of the packages are built from the same source, so
it's no wonder that neither of them is available. :)

 The problem seems to be here that xmonad-contrib was tried to get built
before xmonad was finished building - and thus did run into an error
installing its build-dependencies.
<http://experimental.ftbfs.de/new/package.php?p=xmonad-contrib&suite=lenny-bpo>

 According to
<http://experimental.ftbfs.de/new/package.php?p=xmonad&suite=lenny-bpo>
it is built everywhere besides mips and mipsel, so a give-back of
xmonard-contrib should get it building properly.

 I sent the following two lines to #debian-buildd on OFTC (with the
notice that it's for the experimental buildd network):

gb xmonad-contrib_0.8-5~bpo50+1 . amd64 arm armel powerpc s390 sparc
dw xmonad-contrib_0.8-5~bpo50+1 . mips mipsel . -m 'libghc6-xmonad-prof (>= 0.8)'

 Hopefully it will get picked up soonishly.

 So long. :)
