Hmm, looking at http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/platform.html I only see that alex is newer (which is not a problem, as it is just a build tool). The display about parsec is wrong, as there we have two versions in Debian. > and about our > haskell-platform package not depending on the profiling > libraries. I think it’s ok to not depend on them by default. People with low bandwidth and/or disk space will thank us. But having a haskell-platform-prof package (similar to *-doc), which could be recommended, would be fine.
