GHC 6.12.1 in experimental



I've just uploaded ghc6_6.12.1-1 and haddock_2.6.0-1 to experimental.
I would've uploaded to unstable but I didn't yet get
haskell-devscripts to work with the new GHC.  I would've liked to
check that libraries would build smoothly first.

I pushed a few patches to haskell-devscripts' repository, but didn't
yet package a new version.  dh_haskell_shlibdeps doesn't work
currently and I didn't try to fix it.  There was a new Cabal version
along with GHC, so the way it handles packages has changed somewhat.
Libraries' package.conf files now reside as individual files in
/var/lib/ghc-6.12.1/package.conf.d/.

Haskell libraries no need postinst and prerm scripts to register
themselves.  Registering is done by just dropping the corresponding
file to that directory.

That's the theory.  I have yet to test it more.  It might still need a
trigger on ghc6's side.

This GHC version should build on ia64, allowing it to enter testing.
Unless something else breaks.

That's all I can think about this now.  Could someone else have a look
at haskell-devscripts?
