When you apt-get xmonad, regardless of the version, debian ends up installing what looks like close to a hundred packages. Meaning that I was concerned that trying to install manually might have landed me in dependency hell. I don't think this would have been the case, though: despite the large number of packages, and size thereof.. the actual dependency is quite trivial: you just need a working Haskell environment in order to configure xmonad. Doesn't look like a case of fifteen layers of libraries, with half of them dummy packages to resolve compatiblity issues.
Your debian seems not like mine, if I remember well I just needed those packages to get a XMonad with full extensions : $ apt-get source xmonad xmonad-contrib # aptitude install ghc6 libghc6-mtl-dev libghc6-utf-8-string-dev libghc6-x11-dev libghc6-x11-xft-dev
One quick question, I see a bunch of screenshots on the xmonad wiki and some look pretty much like what I'm trying to end up with, but the configuration files or scripts appear not to have been made available.
This is surely what you look for : http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Config_archive
