I'm working on a script to download and install haskell packages (from unstable), and if they build, install them into "testing".

Have you considered a setup like that used by Debian, with a single pool of packages, and a distribution being just a list of package-ids? It would be an extra level of indirection, but duplication can also be confusing, and having all the packages in the same place would be useful for other kinds of processing too.
