I looked at output of test-packages.pl. I should read packages.txt too.
My bad.

So I can upgrade plan to 3.18 and start commiting changes for
stack-0.1.10 to master, right?

To develop in haskell with debian-provided, up-to-date libraries, I have
to follow sid. I would prefer to not.
In current state, libghc-text-icu-dev depends on libicu55, which depends
on gcc-5, which is can of worms, which I would rather not open.

Then we must maintain them, sure.
