Sorry for not explaining more clearly in the first place.

The problem is that Network.PublicSuffixList.DataStructure is a generated
file and therefore is not the preferred form of modification for the
serialized data structure.  This is not a legal problem but one of
Debian archive policy and package self-containment.

What is desired is a way that someone can do something like the
following:

apt-get source haskell-publicsuffixlist
cd haskell-publicsuffixlist-0.0.3
vi somethingorother.dat
dpkg-buildpackage

and end up with a working publicsuffixlist library with the
desired modifications.

Or, since Daniel has already packaged Mozilla's publicsuffix
list for us, modify that package centrally and use that
in the Haskell code.

Someone please jump in if I'm mischaracterizing things.
