The Debian packages are meant to work consistently with each other,
so I would not install anything at all with cabal-dev (in fact I've
never used cabal-dev or virthualenv myself). The libraries listed
in Recommends (and possibly Suggests) of the yesod package should
be all you need to build the output of `yesod init`. If this is not
the case, please do indeed file a bug on yesod in the Debian BTS.
With only Debian packages installed you should be able to
yesod init
cd $dirname
yesod devel
We should definitely patch yesod to not suggest running
cabal{,-dev} install, though I don't have time for this
today.
