For the benefit of other Debian users, Google took me here:
http://haskell-unsafe.alioth.debian.org/haskell-unsafe.html
where I found the following lines to add to my /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://haskell-unsafe.alioth.debian.org/archive/i386 . unstable deb-src http://haskell-unsafe.alioth.debian.org/archive/i386 . unstable
If you are using Debian stable, and you want the not-quite-as-old Haskell packages from testing, change "unstable" to "stable" in the above lines.
You can do the same thing with Unstable; just add "unstable" entries to your /etc/apt/souces.list and add a "preferences" file that says you prefer to get everything from "testing" or "stable" or whatever. Then if you want something from Unstable, just say "apt-get install ghc6/unstable". Unstable is more stable than unsafe, btw ;) peace, isaac
