I’m reluctant to agree here. Having two separate branches of the same
software in Debian should be the exception.

If HaXml-1.19 is going to be the next stable, I’d rather see the HaXml
using packages follow suite and start to be compatible with that
version, preferably before ghc6-6.12 is ready for the migration to
squeeze.

Is anyone aware of how large the API changes are? Does it require major
re-writes in the using code, or just minor adjustments?

Greetings,
Joachim
