The patch to avoid extensible-exceptions in this case was bigger. Are we sure we want this?Given that the patch, although not very small, is still very straight forward (i.e. involves no difficult or error-prone steps), Iÿÿm still prefering it over depending on an e-e package. But I do not have a strong opinion there, if there is a consensus against patching I wonÿÿt oppose it.
I think Debian should stay as close to hackage as possible. Patching to avoid extensible-exceptions seems gratuitous to me.
