Can the Debian/Haskell interest parties say something about who's doing what in this area? Is there hope for a concrete effort to import large numbers of hackage apps and tools into Debian?

I'm not a DD, but I think uploading ~500 hackage packages to debian would be a bit of a no-no. Debian packages are expected to have active maintainers both upstream and on the debian side, and to build without a hitch on ten different architectures, or they don't make it into stable and the DD responsible gets whined at. Having a debianized cabal-install would be the biggest win in my book. If there were an unofficial debianized mirror of hackage, I probably wouldn't use it anyway. --Lane
