Ugh, sounds like work.

Hah, that explains the gaping black void in the repo where
haskell-sdl2-ttf should be. The wiki mentions only cabal-debian
in the chapter about packaging new stuff, and I already have
cabal-debian installed in my Ubuntu, so let me try packaging
sdl2-tff and pushing the resulting mock-up. Of course, I don't
know what I'm doing, but it's not me who saves the day
around here, so let me at it. :)

I wonder if the `dht` wrapper around cabal-debian is useful
in this case or not at all.
