I’d also like to have a one-stop, definite, false-positive free of blockers, but unfortunately that does not exist. Everything mentioned complained about by https://jenkins.debian.net/view/haskell/job/chroot-installation_sid_install_haskell/ is a blocken. Currently that includes removals by the FTP-Team (unless you are on the team there is not much you can do besides occasional nagging) and representable-tries, where upstream seems to be unable to come up with a quick solution: https://github.com/ekmett/representable-tries/issues/2 So one useful thing to do would be to try to patch representable-tries to build again. Another useful resource is https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=pkg-haskell-maintainers% 40lists.alioth.debian.org&suite=sid&compact=compact&a=amd64,armel,armhf,hurd-i386,i386,kfreebsd-amd64,kfreebsd-i386,mips,mipsel,powerpc,s390,s390x,sparc where you can check for unexpected build failures on other architectures. But a single issue (like the haskell-tls-on-sparc issue) can cause many crosses there, so it takes time to actually find the cause of some issues. Finally, the list of RC-critical bugs http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=maint&data=pkg-haskell-maintainers%40lists.alioth.debian.org&sev-inc=critical&sev-inc=grave&sev-inc=serious is a good place to look at for useful work. #746083 for example is new and seems reasonably simple to fix.
