Having gone through the gfortran transition during last freeze (which was easy compared with this) and so having some experience about the issues that this will encounter (lack of manpower, reliance on archive-admins to do syncs, possible interdependencies, secondary build depends, etc.) doing this now seems a hopeless task. Furthermore, is the above list complete? Don't we have a number of packages that would need to be rebuilt as well (those that depends on the libghc6-*-dev stuff)? The potential to screw up things more, in my opinion, is very high. Unless a team of people lead by Stefan can commit to this I would err more on the cautious side and say to not do this right now and postpone it to intrepid+1.
