I think it would be great if that could be moved into devscripts. I doubt that they will want to build-depend on Haskell. Also, it is relatively stupid (parse debian/control, construct apt-get install line, fire) and hence cannot take versioned build-dependencies and alternatives into account. The proper solution would be if simply apt-get supported this (or at least supports listing the packages to install in the debian/control format).
