Hey, no problem. Like I said, I'm just glad we got some people interested in
making Haskell a success under Debian. Thanks for all your work.
The patch was attached to my original email. It was built on top of the 0.7.5
release of the haskell-devscripts.

Hopefully I'll have sometime in the new year to dust it back off again.
It won't be right away though, so, if someone else wants to take a stab at it,
please do go ahead.
WRT the rest of your points/questions, I haven't looked at it since I wrote
the patch, so I have to plead ignorant.
Cheers! -Tyson
