It looks like we have a problem then. At the bottom of this mail you can
find the output of a (dry-run-mode) attempt of removing haskell-utils
from the archive. There are 24 packages in unstable which still depend
on haskell-utils, so it can't be removed naively.
What are your (as in debian-haskell) plans about this? I see only two
possibilities: or you envisage migrating all such packages to
haskell-devscripts (modulo some transitive removals of some of them) or
haskell-utils needs to be fixed at least in the interin while those
packages still build-depends on it.
Remember that time is ticking, the freeze is near :-)
Cheers.
zack@merkel:~$ dak rm -Rn haskell-utils
Working... done.
Will remove the following packages from unstable:
haskell-utils | 1.11 | source, armel, hppa, hurd-i386, i386, mips,
mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
haskell-utils | 1.11+b1 | alpha, amd64, ia64
