And thanks a lot for your work! thanks for the kind words; appreciation is very much appreciated. I’m CC’ing the Debian Haskell Group – after all the packaging is a group effort. If you are surprised to find that the platform is packaged, maybe you also don’t know that you can install over 500 precompiled Haskell packages for Debian with apt-get install, and almost all of them also on ARM (at least those that do not need Template Haskell, and that will change with GHC 7.4.2 and onwards). I notice that there is not a good list of all packages, but http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/hackagevsdebian.html is one source of information, and then of course on hackage itsel it is mentioned if a library is included in Debian.
