Of course, if you are doing haskell development, the best possible way
to go (IMO) full-blown cabal install since you will always get the
most up-to-date code

Let's say I go and compile a library from sources and install it through Cabal.
How can I update the binary version of the library Cabal installed after recompiling the library using newer/modified sources?

If I want to install gtk2hs on Debian, I'd like gtk (the C library) to be
automatically installed. And I want Debian's gtk package because this is the
one, other Debian-packaged software uses.

And a Debian user installing an application written in Haskell wants to use
the Debian package manager.
