hmm, another case of haskell packages braking our buildd infrastructure.
We really need get this fixed.

John, you haven’t yet commented on the idea of a Haskell Packaging Group
similar to pkg-perl which could handle all the uniform haskell library
packages we have (not including haskell binaries). What do you think of
that?

I’d also like to consolidate the tools we have, haskell-utils and
haskell-devscripts, so that the tasks are clearly separated:
 * haskell-devscripts provides the debhelper scripts to build, configure
and install the package, generate the preinst/postinst debhelper
snippets and calculates the binary dependencies.
 * haskell-utils can be used to ease packaging further by providing one
standard debian/rules (which uses haskell-devscripts), standad
debian/control and an easy way to keep the _source_ dependencies
up-to-date.

Of course, this should not happen for lenny anymore, but right after
that.

I’m fearing that we will run into trouble once the buildd admins are
finally fed up and won’t build anything that sounds like haskell any
more...

Greetings,
Joachim
