Generally, you are doing the right thing: Sending a mail to the Debian Haskell Group and asking. Then we look at the package in question and see if it is a fit for Debian. We do not aim to cover all of Hackage. Instead, the package needs to have some value to our users. The most obvious value is if it is a dependency of a program we want, or a relatively common and generally useful library. The package description of pontarius says that pontarios is work-in-progress and alpha, so I have doubts that it is a useful package to have in Debian. Who would use it? Are there any applications built on it?
