I think the inclusion of that was stalled during discussion. For an inclusion in Debian, I think one would have to re-think the package split. I’d put all binaries in one package, to keep the Debian package namespace less polluted. If anything then two packages (cabal-debian and the_others) should be sufficient. apt-get-build-depends depends on haskell-utils, haskell-cdbs. The former is obsolete and the latter not in Debian. This needs adjustment. I see that neither you nor David is a member of the Debian Haskell Group at https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-haskell/. Not sure if this was discussed before: Did you consider joining the group and maintaining the package here? (If not, that’s ok, I’m sure someone else will pick up the package). > There are other libraries and apps that depend on extra, though I am > not sure if any are headed for sid at the moment.

I wouldn’t call the issue big, but it definitely is an issue: Two packages going through main, proper buildd queuing to be taken care of etc. I’m happy to see Extra in Debian once there is actually code shared by several packages in it, of course. For now, I’d appreciate if you’d copy the functions over. It will definitely speed up inclusion in Debian.
