So, Haskell packages use cdbs calling into a
Haskell-specific hlibrary.mk.
I mean we could certainly just whitelist all of src:haskell-*, but
isn't the entire point of this tag to ask people to move to the dh
sequencer? Or is it "actually fine" for them to use hlibrary.mk and
this will just save the Haskell team whole bunch of boilerplate
overrides with an identical explanation?
I think in the long run, haskell should move to dh as well.
ISTR in the past somebody actually started writing a dh-haskell "buildsystem" as well, but it had some shortcomings and the thing was abandoned before it got good enough to be used.
I think you should whitelist all Haskell packages for now: once a dh tool/buildsystem to deal with Haskell packages is ready, most likely *all* Haskell packages will move at once, at which point that exception can be lifted.
Anyway, CCing d-haskell@ for input as well.

My experience of Lintian suggests that W: would be too strong to start
with. Sam, would you be okay with "I:" to begin with?
Yes I sounds much better than W.
