Why do you want this particular library in debian? *This is personal opinion, and does not reflect any official attitude* Library version will always lag behind hackage, and with our limited manpower, behind stackage. We have many libraries to build application, written in haskell (pandoc, blogliterately, darcs). In my opinion, even -prof/-doc binary are no longer needed. Adding every new library is more work. In dark times of cabal, debian was the only source of reliable co-installability. Now, stack provides the same. To me, as haskell programmer, `apt-get install haskell-stack/sid` is enough, as long as haskell-stack is recent enough. -- Accept: text/plain, text/x-diff Accept-Language: eo,en,ru X-Keep-In-CC: yes X-Web-Site: sinsekvu.github.io
