Before picking up Haskell, I spent many years using Ocaml on Debian and Ubuntu systems. The Debian Ocaml peopl group maintain the vast majority of Ocaml libraries and programers. When a new compiler is released, they have processes in place so thet can usually rebuild everything with the new compiler within a couple of days. Here in Debian Haskell land, we had ghc-6.10.3 hit unstable about 2 months ago and important stuff like haskell-network is still broken. I am a strong advocate for group maintaining all the important Haskell stuff like they do for Ocaml. Unfortunately, I am only a Debian Maintainer, not a Debian Developer so there is only so much can do.
