I've sent the patches I've made to DBus author a while ago and now he answered saying he will apply it to the library, but that there's better DBus bindings in hackage. Which would be dbus-core and dbus-client. They indeed seem more complete. The reason I needed DBus package was for configuring my xmonad as described in [1]. But there's really nothing special about DBus, I guess I could adapt it for using dbus-client. I was able to compile it with minor changes on ghc 7, but it does use OldException, which is deprecated. Since the ftp masters didn't upload the package yet, do you think it may be best to drop it and work on dbus-client and dbus-core? The only thing bad about dbus-client and dbus-core is that they depend on other hackage packages which aren't in debian yet.
