At least one of these packages is in stacked, specifically acid-state.On Sat, Jun 20, 2015 at 5:04 AM, Joachim Breitner <nomeata@debian.org> wrote:Hi,
I think it would improve the quality of Haskell in Debian if we are
more focused on packages that are relevant, and regularly clear out
cruft. With cruft, I mean packages that were once dependencies of
something we want to have in Debian, and are no longer, and also
packages that someone used to be interested in and is no longer.
So I propose to introduce “key packages”: These are those packages that
should be in Debian on their own right – things like pandoc, xmonad,
cabal-debian, etc. Packages become key packages if someone marks them
as such in the package plan.
Then, the following packages should be in Debian:
* Key packages,
* their dependencies,
* and all packages that were previously in Debian and are also part of
stackage (as I expect that these incur very little extra overhead).
This implies that we should remove all packages that are neither in
Stackage nor that are (used by) key packages.
I added support for such reasoning to the package plan, and marked a
few packages as key packages. This would currently imply that we can
remove these packages:

Quite a list! Do you spot anything that you want to keep? Then mark it
as "key" in the package list (but be prepared that I come to you when
this package needs extra work) and/or make sure it becomes part of
stackage.
Do you think this system is sensible? Will it scale?
Greetings,
Joachim
