Plus it does not work with Cabal as shipped with GHC 7.6, so you’d first have to nag upstream to fix that. Then it is definitely a useful tool. Reading what’s on http://wiki.debian.org/Haskell (and subpages) is a must, and reading through what tools are available on http://anonscm.debian.org/darcs/pkg-haskell/tools/ might also be enlightening. Besides that, feel free to ask on this list. If you are looking for packages to package: With OpenGL upgraded it should be possible to package gloss; that would be nice to have in Debian. There is also http://wiki.debian.org/Haskell/PackageTODO for ideas.
