I think we should drop it unless we have a package that depends on the newer version of utf8-string. I've done a research about it: $ for i in `grep-dctrl -FDepends -sPackage libghc6-utf8-string-dev /var/lib/apt/lists/localhost\:9999_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-amd64_Packages | sed 's/Package: libghc6-\(.*\)-dev/\1/; /Package/d'`; do echo ---$i; GET http://hackage.haskell.org/package/$i | grep -A 1 utf8-string || echo $i >> /tmp/error; done | less Then I searched by hand the pacakges in /tmp/error. The only problem I've found is with the newer version of haskeline, which is not in Debian yet. If we need it, we'll need a separate package of utf8-string. As it's only a possibility, I'd say we should drop them, and reintroduce then if it's the case latter.
