I have searched a little bit about this issue, as is described in:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-haskell/2009/08/msg00022.html
and I guess the better solution is to upload a patched GHC 6.8.2 to
lenny. I asked about how to do this in:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-haskell/2009/08/msg00102.html
but as no one replied and I wasn't sure about the direction to go, I
stoped thinking about it for a time. As it's said on these e-mails, I
have the package here ready for going to lenny, needing only some
adjustments in debian/changelog.
Do you think we should do this upload to stable?
Greetings.
