Have you thought about doing this for Ubuntu? If you know how to automatically generate packages, you could set up a PPA (private package archive) on Launchpad.
I've spoken with Jeremy Shaw, who has similar systems in place, based also on Cabal (and cabal-install), for generating native packages for Debian & Ubuntu. However, we do need some Ubuntu champions who can work incrementally, over a long time, to keep packages up to date on their systems. Automation makes this a *lot* easier, so you may only need one or two people, motivated to work on their distro. -- Don
