While I’m fine with Haskell packages having their repository elsewhere, this is under the assumption that the maintainers are willing to apply the mass-changes that we do across all darcs-maintained packages to their packages in a timely manner, which has worked ok so far. OTOH, especially for pure Haskell library packages (e.g. intern) I don’t see the advantage in not having them where all the other packages live. The extra work that maintaining one more package within our usual infrastructure causes is, by now, less than having to remember if and where other packages live. So take this as an invitation to put the new packages to the other Haskell packages, or alternatively just tell us what you want packaged (as we do it with the pandoc dependencies). > As I also told Phil, my interest is in the Swish executable.

The pandoc program is useful on its own. From reading the Swish websites it seems that it is more of a toolkit where you write „scripts“ in Haskell. If that is the case then the swish executable is not very useful on its own, and should live with or depend on libghc-swish-dev. But I could not find enough information to be sure about this.
