Yes. The sanest approach for any distribution would seem to install are bare bones ghc + cabal (cabal install) and let the cabal package system do the hard work directly.
Cabal works really well for a single developer on a single machine.
Debian packages work really well where there are multiple developers on multiple machines and auto-build bots where you want all of these to be using the exact same binary package.
It also works really well for _users_ of applications written in Haskell. The introduction of dynamic linking will mean that those applications need the pre-built libraries they depend on. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
