No objection. But note that deb.haskell.org, which had up-to-date GHC for Debian stable, was not missed much when it went offline, so the user demand might not be too great. I plan to improve the situation a bit by uploading the haskell packages also to the Debian backports archives, but that will still take a long time from the release, so it won’t solve your problem. > I could offer some assistance as well.

I am, however, very much looking forward to that, and plan to make use of it.
