The one thing to watch out for is that the haskell-platform.cabal meta-package doesn't mention the programs that are part of the platform, ie alex, happy, haddock and cabal-install. The definitive list is currently here: http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/wiki/Library/VersionMatrix#PlatformPackages in the column for 2009.0.0 We'll move that list to a page on it's own along with some guidance for distros.
