The only thing bad about dbus-client and dbus-core is that they > depend on other hackage packages which aren't in debian yet. if the author of haskell-dbus recommends another set of packages, then yes, we should go for that. So drop a mail to ftp-master that you want the upload to be rejected. Now the proliferation of dependencies is unfortunate, but I guess there is no way around it. And that’s why this group tries to hard to keep the per-package maintenance cost down.
