Also, the policies that make life a bit more harder for us are also the policies that make Debian a good distribution: E.g. manually creating a copyright file describing who all has copyright on the files, and what license the files are under – .cabal has fields for that, but unfortunately, they very often do not reflect the reality of the .hs files. Or the other one, requiring that an upload of a source package is accompanied by a manually built and signed binary package ensures that the maintainer actually checked that the package builds and hopefully has tested it.
Is it a good solution to have a Debian package containing many Cabal packages? For example, 'opengl-utils' with all OpenGL-related packages? Maybe this could be a good compromise. Cheers, -- Felipe.
