I'm really new to haskell, so this is probably a bit beyond my depth.

I've started by packaging http-media 0.6.3. I cloned DHG_packages and used http2 as a starting point (since it seemed to be recently packaged). I now have a build of the package working locally. I've requested membership on the alioth group, is that the best place to push a branch for review or is there some other preferred workflow?
The only issues I ran into where:
* I don't know how to include both a lower and upper bound on dependencies, as was done in the upstream cabal file. For now I've only included the lower bounds in the control file.
* I had to add a few -prof packages to get it to build. I'm not sure how to determine that in advance, other than attempt a build and see what fails.
* I noticed things like libghc-base-dev and libghc-bytestring-dev are virtual packages provided by ghc, so didn't explicitly include them in the control file.
