Feasibility of backports?

[Iustin Pop <iustin@debian.org>]

Hi all,

I'm asking more from the point of view of upstream, rather than Debian
packaging. I presume that due to the ghc6→ghc migration, doing backports
for a few simpler packages (not yesod or such) is still not an easy
task, right?

A good example that I'm thinking about is aeson; it has about 5-6
dependencies (I have no idea if these have in turn more dependencies
which are not in squeeze), so I think it would take some effort but
would be doable.

Thoughts?

thanks,
iustin
