I needed to follow the following steps to install the latest version of
hs2gtk:

I assume ghc and cabal are already installed

Install "alex", "happy" and "libghc-random-dev" with apt
(needed for next step)

Install gtk2hs-buildtools with cabal
(The binary installed by this command needs to be in the PATH)

Install "libgtk-3-dev", "libghc-mtl-dev" and "libghc-utf8-string-dev"
(with apt)

Then cabal install gtk3 installs these packages:
cairo-0.12.5.3
glib-0.12.5.3
gio-0.12.5.3
pango-0.12.5.3
gtk3-0.12.5.6

This was done in a chroot (pbuilder) and worked. But my tests weren't
more than creating a toplevel window without anything in it.

So I think to update gtk3, cairo, glib, gio and pango need to be
updated
