Karmic (9.10) will have GHC 6.10.3, possibly 6.10.4.
Unfortunately thats only half the story. The GHC 6.10.3 that is going into Kamic is the one from Debian Unstable. It is important to note here that beyond doing a rebuild of the Debian source package against Ubuntu's binary versions of all the libraries, Ubuntu/Cannonical does no extra work to make Haskell (or anything else outside the Ubuntu core packages) work on Ubuntu. It should also be noted that although ghc-6.10.3 works, a huge bunch of Haskell libraries still need to be build with the new compiler for them to be useful. Since Debian is still working on getting this process sorted out, there is little reason to believe that Ubuntu is going to be any better at getting this fixed. If anyone is interested in seeing improved Haskell support in Ubuntu, they should be looking towards the Debian Haskell maintainers, not Ubuntu :-).
