So nag the Ubuntu ghc maintainer about being several versions behind. Or if they're actually not several versions behind, you're just using an old version of ubuntu, install a copy of ghc from a newer version of ubuntu.
I'm running the current latest release of Ubuntu and using the latest ghc they offer. The Ubuntu people just grab their version from Debian. I'm actually tracking the Debian Haskell mailing list and just in the last week there was an announcement of ghc-6.10.1 going into the experimental repository. Then they need to compile all the libraries with the new compiler. I'm thinking of grabbing the debian source package from Debian experimental and building it on Ubuntu.
