Can I just update their > dependencies/rebuild/dput to experimental? Yes, please do. As said before, I was only working on the packages in the Darcs repositories; hslogger is not among them. If you do, makes sure you build-depend on the version of haskell-devscripts in experimental and double-check that you get the distribution right. > Some packages have been upgraded to a newer version after the big > initial upload, leading to their reverse deps being uninstallable.

I guess uploading new > versions to experimental must be done carefully? Actually, this is something that would happen in unstable just as well. There, once someone notices a problem I’d run ./haskell-pkg-debcheck to schedule the required binNMUs. I need to create a variant of this tool that is capable of handling experimental. I guess I’ll do that now. Sourceful uploads without changes besides the version bump, in this case of conduit, are always an option if you don’t feel like waiting.
