No. I meant Haskell Unsafe. I built the packages I spoke of last week (there was an earlier upload, as I recall). The binary packages are only there for amd64, but since I was building from source anyway, that didn't make a difference.

I think it's better to wait a little bit for the dust to settle, maybe Ian will also provide some info on this subject. But thanks for the offer, I'll ask you for the packages if that will seem like the best route.

If they're in unstable, that helps. The tricky thing turns out to be that some of 6.8.2's build-deps are only in unstable as well (like the most recent haddock), so you need to spend some time chasing down and building dependencies. That's certainly easier if you're not jumping back between unstable and Haskell Unsafe as I was. - Ravi
