Excerpts from Debian FTP Masters's message of Qui Mai 26 11:17:08 -0300 2011:

Does it still makes sense to keep this package in Debian?  If we are planning
to keep one haskell report, maybe it should be 2010.  In this case, I propose
we changed the package name to haskell-report, to avoid problems on the
future.

Do we know what GHC is planning on doing? On [0] you can see the statement:

As with all known Haskell systems, GHC implements some extensions to the language. They are all enabled by options; by default GHC understands only plain Haskell 98. So if Haskell 98 is still relevant then we should keep it and package 2010 separately.

If not, then I agree we should do as you propose.

Cheers,
Iain
