I think such things should be automated.  I dislike the tradition of  
having a manual-labor-intensive step in the process of converting the  
latest source code in the repository into a package for a platform.

I'm willing to help out with the project of automating the production  
of platform-specific packages.  Are there any tools in Haskell world  
which are well suited to this purpose?  (In Python world, there are  
tools which start with the Python equivalent of a cabal file and a  
source tree and go on to produce a .deb or a .msi.)
