At work we use hardy and to get the latest haskell stuff I did
the following:
a) Install ghc-6.8.
b) Add this to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian unstable main non-free contrib
c) Get the sources to ghc-6.10 using:
apt-get build-dep ghc6
apt-get source ghc-6.10
d) Build the package and install it.
e) Apt get the sources to the libraries and build/install them.
Its painful and you do need to be reasonably comfortable with building
debian packages, but it worked for me.
Cheers,
Erik
