Hi, we still need to get QuickCheck 2.6 into unstable to have all platform packages in the respective version. Unfortunately, test-framework-quickcheck2 is lagging behind: (Bug at https://github.com/batterseapower/test-framework/pull/48, last commit in the repo 6 months ago). The package is too commonly used to just drop it, so we need to patch it. If one believes the pull requests on github, no source changes are necessary. In order to use test-packages.pl even when we patch the cabal file I hacked the script to create a modified hackage repository, including our patches. If you look at http://anonscm.debian.org/darcs/pkg-haskell/tools/all-packages/ you see a patches directory. There, you drop patches with filename <pkg>-<version>.patch that modify (only) the .cabal file. ./test-packages.pl will then take your 00-list.tar from ~/.cabal, patch the .cabal files therein it, store it in a separate directory and run cabal-install with that. This way, we can also add other patched packages to packages.txt. You can just take the patches from the Debian source package and remove all hunks that modify other files; I’ve done that with some of our existing patches. So for QuickCheck 2.6, we need to patch test-framework-quickcheck2, Hakyll and leksah. Very doable, so feel free to upload packages according to the schedule in packages.txt.
