A thing that I noticed anyway and forgot to mention in the first email
is that cabal-debian has a very strange debian/rules; instead of using
our CDBS class, it is built from scratches, without even using debhelper
(there are direct calls to dpkg-gencontrol and the likes).

Are you aware of any reason for this? I definitely think we should
convert it to the common Haskell structure.
