From a glimpse so far, debdiff looks good.

Please note, that this will draw in a smallish haskell transition (see debian-haskell ml), but that shouldn't stop us from bringing the repacked ghc6 in now.

I'll take a deeper look/do a test-build/upload this weekend, but if someone else wants to sponsor, feel free to go ahead.

Cheers,
    Stefan.

Thanks, uploaded.

Ok, I guess the next steps for the transition should be to
* sync haskell-devscripts (just filed bug 318473 for this)
* rebuilt (or sync/merge) affected packages after haskell-devscripts was synced.

Alessio, can you monitor this a little bit as well, so that we won't miss packages, or have packages rebuilt erroneously before the new haskell-devscripts is in?

Thanks,
    Stefan.

I created a bug for the rebuilds at bug #320946
