Miriam,

I had a look the the haskell SDL bindings you have there. There were a
couple of minor problems:

 0) The *.diff.gz file you have there are full of package build artifacts
    (config.log and other cruft). I think these is actually an artifact of
    how you built the packages.

 1) Missing debian/watch file (all the debian-haskell-mainatiner packages
    have one).

 2) Section fields in the Package sections (Section only belongs in the
    Source section).

 3) Missing doc-base file debian/libghc6-sdl-doc.doc-base.

After fixing 1, 2 and 3 above, I followed the instructions here:

     http://wiki.debian.org/Haskell/CollabMaint/DarcsBasic

I  pushed the haskell-sdl packages to:

    http://darcs.debian.org/darcs/pkg-haskell/haskell-sdl

I also tweaked the control file slightly pulling it into line with the
rest of the group packages. 

I'll get the rest done over the next day or two.

Cheers,
Erik
