Hello,
what should be the section of the haskell library packages? cabalDebianTemplate[0] uses devel, while haskell-utils[1] uses libdevel.
Why is --enable-library-vanilla in haskell-utils rules[2] CONFIGURE_OPTS if it's in the default cabal options[3]?
Why is --enable-split-objects only used in i386 and amd64? I just got problems with it in s390.
Greetings.

ISTR it's hard to find authoritative descriptions for the sections. http://packages.debian.org/unstable/ says:
devel: Development utilities, compilers, development environments, libraries, etc.
libdevel: Libraries necessary for developers to write programs that use them.
I suspect that the "libraries" in the devel section description is from before the libdevel section was created. I think that libdevel is what we want, anyway.

Just to be explicit about what's happening.

Because of problems (or potential problems) with splitting on other arches.
Thanks Ian

IIRC there are sometimes problems even on those architectures. Last time I ran into it was when trying to package a vty module from hackage.
