Hi,
if you're asking what distro maintains xmonad packages (the best),
I count on Arch.
They update all official 'xmonad' packages frequently, because
their haskell packages themselves also are updated quite often
(could be once, twice a week). – Alternatively you can make your
own local xmonad build, independent from the distro. And sure, you
also have to decide which compiler to use. I highly recommend
consulting the wikis from both Arch Linux and Xmonad.

Does anyone know why the xmonad packages seem to be
broken in Debian?
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/haskell.html
When I try to install libghc-xmonad-dev
and/or libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev, I get an error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libghc-xmonad-dev : Depends: libghc-x11-dev-1.9.1-11a5c
Depends: libghc-base-dev-4.13.0.0-2f220
but it is not installable

Recommends: libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev
but it is not going to be installed
When I tried to enquire in the distros forums (which is a
Debian variant) they indicated that the problem is upstream.
Does anyone know what the issue is? Which distro to folks
use with xmonad? Where is it best supported?
