I haven't been actively working on the packages since I'm about to move
to a new job and have been busy interviewing and getting ready for the
relocation.

Alright, let me see what I can do about creating the packages tonight
and perhaps someone will sponsor them or comment. :) Here's something
for you to work with:

http://bokeoa.com/~core/files/beyond_unstable_debian/arjan/

And binary debs are in:

http://bokeoa.com/~core/files/beyond_unstable_debian/sid

Which was created with debarchiver.  I believe it's potato format.. i
think you could add it to apt sources but I haven't tested.

The status of the packages is that they are functional (tested with HXT)
and to the best of my knowledge conform to Debian Policy and Debian
Haskell Policy.  As I said I'm moving several thousand miles in 3 weeks
so I may not be available all the time but please don't hesitate to
contact me if you have questions, concerns etc..

peace,
