You can try that. option 1, and then option 2, if the first one doesn't work.

Nothing depends on haskell-hsql-mysql, afaics. So, why should we postpone
the haskell transition for it? I think (and that's what I was going to do)
that temporarily removing it from testing is our best option here.

Ok.

It's up to you.

pandoc is not migratable in its current state in sid. And, gitit depends
on pandoc. I tried to remove both gigit and pandoc from testing during my
tests to see if ghc could migrate, but it doesn't because we need
haskell-dummy, which needs both gitit and pandoc through
libghc6-{gitit,pandoc}-{dev,doc}. If you want to keep those old -dev
packages, then you'll have to fix pandoc. If you drop them, then I think
we might be able to migrate ghc. Other packages I've mentioned in my mail
are not a blockers since they can be removed from testing easily.
