What we cannot do is * binNMU a package with its source in unstable, and get its binaries installed into experimental and * force this build to build against the ghc in experimental. So when staging things in experimental, we need a sourceful upload once to get a source into experimental with a bound that ensures we use the experimental ghc. Further updates can be binNMUs just the same: It’s a pitty we did not get 8.0.2 into testing. Has anyone considered backporting the compiler fixes from 8.0.2 into 8.0.1 while preserving any APIs? We’d still have to binNMUs all Haskell libraries, but no new sources would have to migrate.
