Of course we welcome more manpower. I’m not sure, though, if haskell-syz is a package suitable for Debian. Note that our goal is not to package as much from Hackage as possible, but rather apply some thought as to what should be in Debian. Also remember that dragging another Haskell package along is expensive in terms of manpower, much more so than putting something on hackage. Who are the users? Is the library mature? Is it used by other code? In this example, it seems to be code that comes with a research paper; there is no indication that it has seen real-world testing or that it addresses a real-world problem. It has only one reverse dependency on hackage, genprog, which has seen only one upload. Hence I don’t see how providing it along with Debian is useful. If you disagree, please say so.
