Well, if there is a relevant number of Cabal package maintainers that don’t like cdbs and will not use the hlibrary.mk approach, then they will use something else and there is no win.

That would be great, to have something to talk about. But don’t expect that we can just NMU haskell-devscripts with that without approval by arjan – the change would be too intrusive for an NMU.
