There's some unreleased versions (haskell-yi-keymap-emacs and haskell-yi-frontend-vim) that I also tested and could be released with their rebuilds.

I tried to be just in time with my changes - there's now a fresh new upstream release obsoleting the Debian patches and making haskell-frontend-pango building opt-in, so our packaging can be a bit simpler. I hope you did not yet spend time on the central yi package and can upload the 0.19.3 corresponding version from 6879b0a611d7af4b7909cfba573a26d035a997db. :)
In the long term, I am still porting haskell-frontend-pango to haskell-gi-gtk (version 3 in Debian for the moment), but this will take some more time.

Cheers
