Recently I wanted to refer to a Haskell package at Hackage in a paper and I thought it would be a good idea to automatically generate BibTeX entries for every uploaded package. I have attached a module that generates a BibTeX entry from the upload time and the package description. It will still need some fine tuning, e.g. LaTeX escapes for non-ASCII characters. I have pulled the hackage-scripts package to my machine and like to know where to add something - if the feature is wanted, at all. I expect that the BibTeX entry should be generated at upload time and should be mentioned in the main package page if it exists.
