How would these two hypotheses relate with the libgmp3-related issue? In unstable we still have libgmp3-dev, but early or late libgmp10-dev will enter sid and we'll have to do again the Provides trick. I'm not fully aware of the implications this will have: other than asking GMP maintainers to keep the Provides against libgmp3-dev (or adding it again when we'll need to do the bootstrap with the new dependencies), I think this will require a rebuild of all Haskell packages. Am I correct? Moreover, how do you practically implement your second alternative? And wouldn't it cause problems because of the GMP version disparity? Personally, I find the first option more clean and I would prefer it, but I'm not sure I'm not missing anything in my evaluation.
