Agreed. Trying to stick to the HP is more often than not a hinderence: what would be really great is the latest "core" Haskell packages -- cabal, ghc, base libraries etc. -- be available in extra/whatever repo, but that's about all that I could reasonably ask for. Trying to maintain a huge number of binary packages from Hackage, when they all update differently, depend on different packages which themselves might update unpredictably etc. so far yields mostly-out-of-date Haskell packages.

Drop HP. If I want a certain package, I'll get it myself.
