Hi,
The Haskell Policy recommends Cabalized packages, but I don't see the Cabal software packaged for Debian anywhere -- or have I just missed it?
As Shae mentioned, it's in haskell-unsafe so far. Since Cabal is still very much a moving target, we've kept it and the packages using it out of sid for now, while we're trying to figure out what the Haskell Policy should look like. Also, it's probably not a good idea to let these things propagate to sarge yet (I know, I know, we can file bugs to do that, but since we already have a repository why not use it)
FWIW, I'm willing to maintain or sponsor the cabal packages in sid if that's the problem. It's really annoying that so much of this useful stuff is not in sid. (To me, at least.)
You do know that Isaac is a DD too, right? I saw your cabal ITP, have you talked to Isaac about it?
