since you plan to package snapshots anyways, where I presume there are
no official tarballs, it might be easiest to simply create a agda-ffi
tarball containing just that subdirectory by yourself, and treat it
completely separate from the prelude.

But maybe its easier to simply ask Ulf to upload agda-ffi to Hackage, so
that all our other tools (e.g. the package-plan) work without problems.


Are you packaging it for yourself, or do you plan to maintain it in
Debian?

Greetings,
Joachim
