there is nothing you can do about haskell-curl in particular; all
haskell packages and ghc6 will have to go in together. This will always
be hard to archieve, so help is appreciated.

To make ghc6 migrate, it has to build successfully on ia64. I’m not sure
what the status there is, whether the bug is identified and being worked
on. Kaol, can you comment on that? Do you need help?

Besides that, we need to make sure all haskell packages that are in
testing are installable with the current ghc6. A good start this this
link:

If a package is Maybe-Failed there, or Failed, one needs to check why
and fix it. Sometimes it was just attempted to be built with an
uninstallable dependency, in this case a give-back is needed. Sometimes
the package has not been touched for a long time and has << dependencies
on an old ghc6 version etc and need manual intervention.

Some packages just don’t work with 6.10.8 (washngo for example). Here, a
patch needs to be written or the package removed from testing.

I got the first round of binNMUs applied by d-release, I hope that this
clears the field up a bit.

Greetings,
Joachim
