The thing I ran into on Ubuntu (at work) in the last couple of
days is that both haskell-xml and haskell-tagsoup are at versions
that do not support ByteStrings. In both the xml and tagsoup
examples, I started from a base of code that I had written
recently on Debian testing and found it didn't work on Ubuntu.

I don't use haskell on Ubuntu that often, but yes, a person or group
providing a PPA for haskell stiff would be really useful. The DHG
now has some excellent infrasructure that should make managing the
PPA much easier.

Me too. I don't want to bitch about things, I want to find solutions.
The first step towards a solution is to admit that a problem exists.
