Yes, but I wouldn't recommend installing rpms in debian-based system (although, it can work perfectly). GHC 6.6 is in Debian unstable (and should be in Ubuntu 6.10 or development branch). Ubuntu universe repositiry is automatically updated from Debian repos thus being one of the largest repos for Linux.
PS: I'm using Debian testing/unstable.
How up to date will Debian unstable's GHC be kept, though? It seems pretty good at the moment, but there have been times when we've had to install from source instead of via Debian earlier this year so that we had GHC features and bugfixes in place - the Debian version has got rather out of date at times with respect to stuff we needed. -- Mark
