Well, maybe I should qualify that a bit. There were a few issues with Haskell in Debian in the past. Most noticeably the lack of packages in the standard repos. This seems to have been addressed. The other thing, that bit me at the time, and witch really pushed me over the edge was the lack of speed in adopting new upstream versions of ghc and some of the very basic packages.
That Debian has started picking up more packages is noticeable in Hackage. However, an increase in speed wouldn't really be noticeable to a non-Debian user. So you might have improved considerably in that area too... I just wouldn't know :-)
Above all else, what has changed in Debian wrt Haskell is improved process. Improved process is something that makes handle of new upstream releases far easier than it was before and hence, we should be seeing the benefits of this improved process for many years to come.
