You are better off building these packages from the github source for right now - cabal-debian is in a development phase
https://github.com/ddssff/cabal-debian https://github.com/ddssff/debian-haskell If you check these out right next to each other and set the "local-debian" flag to "Default: True" in cabal-debian.cabal, you should be able to build the cabal-debian executable: runhaskell Setup build then you can use it to debianize cabal-debian or anything else. Also, I'm interested in hearing what you would like to see in cabal-debian, use github issues and/or write more here.
