We use 3.0 (quilt) for the other packages, but it is no big deal. Maybe
1.0 works better with git-buildpackage?

I suggest you look how marco did it with other packages:

$ apt-cache show libghc6-hscurses-doc
Package: libghc6-hscurses-doc
Version: 1.3.0.2-3
Replaces: haskell-hscurses-doc (<< 1.3.0.2-2)
Provides: haskell-hscurses-doc
Recommends: ghc6-doc, libghc6-mtl-doc
Suggests: libghc6-hscurses-dev
Conflicts: haskell-hscurses-doc (<< 1.3.0.2-2)

This predates my appearance here, but I’m also not too happy with it.
Maybe someone can design a better stile for them? This could then be put
in the haskell policy and changed in _all_ our packages – consistency is
still important. But this would probably have to wait for after squeeze.

:-) Enjoy!

Greetings,

who is glad that there is another active DD more in the team!
