All in all, I hope this fixes building from GHC 9.6 up to 9.10, which I tested on the upstream sources. My changes are only for the state of haskell packages in Debian, though.

Unfortunately haskell-yi-frontend-vty doesn't build for me. Have you
tested it from your commit?
Also, the following packages curry Debian patches:
* haskell-yi-language
* haskell-yi-frontend-vty
* yi
It's not urgent, but I think it makes sense to move them upstream.

This is great. It will definitely help with maintaining Yi. Right now we
have to disable Yi with every new Stackage release.
