looking at mtl only, the following packages packaged in Debian do
require mtl <2.1 and do not have a new version on hackage that fixes
that yet:

        darcs
        diagrams-cairo (in Debian still “diagrams”)
        ghc-events 
        happstack-ixset (but its obsolete)
        happstack-state (dito)
        happstack-util (dito)
        haskeline
        leksah
        ltk
        template
        vty
        haskelldb
        rss2irc (but we are patching it's mtl dependency already)

A number of packages need to be upgraded by more than a minor version in
Debian to work with mtl 2.1; I hope these upgrades are not too
disruptive. This includes the zoo of packages that “algebra” comprises
of. Otherwise, it seems that having mtl 2.1 in the platform is doable.

I’ll send a mail to these packages maintainers, asking them for a new
version on hackage.

@Debian Haskell Group: Who volunteers to update the algebra packages,
and who takes care of updating the happstack packages to the newly named
packages?

Greetings,
Joachim
