Just thought I'd report that ghc6-6.10.1+dfsg1 seems to build nicely on
amd64.
I saw a few Debian-related warnings:
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libncurses.so.5 could be avoided
if "debian/ghc6/usr/lib/ghc-6.10.1/ghc" were not uselessly linked
against it (they use none of its symbols).
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libutil.so.1 could be avoided if
"debian/ghc6/usr/lib/ghc-6.10.1/ghc-pkg
debian/ghc6/usr/lib/ghc-6.10.1/runghc

There still doesn't seem to be a package for amd64 in experimental,
which confuses me. Where can I find out more about how experimental
works.
Am I right in assuming that PTS[1] is the place to keep track of
progress?
How come there's uncertainty for building on all platforms reported by
the buildsystem[2]?
Am I correct in thinking that the amd64 build[3] failed because of
haddock? (haddock 2.4.1-1 is available in experimental amd64 now, so
what's keeping the system from making another attempt?)
Sorry for turning this into a request for a lesson on how Debian
works...

Haskell is an even 'redder' pill than Lisp or Scheme.
