Of course they can and should be upgraded, after checking that all already packaged code will be compatible with the new version. The Build-Dependencies are, if everybody does it correctly, sufficient to check that. > Also, if we try to build Yi with Pango, then we need newer gtk2hs > version >=0.13.5 (currently we have 0.13.4 in sid ). No problem in upgrading gtk2hs either. > I read most of Haskell pages on Debian Wiki, and from my > understanding, the right way to put them in Debian is joining Alioth > pkg-haskell project.

Nobody is working on it, so if you want to see it happen soon, do it yourself :-) We are always happy to have more people joining the DHG group. http://lists.debian.org/debian-haskell/2011/10/msg00040.html is a recent mail that outlines the current procedure of packaging Haskell libraries.
