Bug#562610: filed upstream

After a discussion with Julien Cristau (Debian maintainer), Markus Kuhn (xorg maintainer) and Constantine Stathopoulos (designer of the glyph), I realize that incorrect was wrong: the form is used occasionally in modern Greek print and often in handwriting. However I still think the more common

Package: xfonts-base Version: 1:1.0.0-6 Severity: normal -- System Information: The following fonts have an incorrect glyph for U+03BB GREEK SMALL LETTER LAMDA. It seems the glyph was obtained by inverting the glyph for U+0079 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y. That would be close for the variant of 'y'

The LANGUAGE: CPP pragma doesn't appear to get passed on to ghc, though it does appear to work with Hugs. Pragmas should be interpreted by the compiler, not Cabal, and the LANGUAGE pragma is not yet supported by GHC. Hugs is treated differently because the source file must be preprocessed
