(Get the code!)
Alright, here's an update on the status for those interested.
Turns out that even when the dependencies for 0.9.9 were satisfiable, hedgewars still will not build in Karmic due to changes in the more recent version of haskell-network. Luckily, upstream upstream has already fixed this 0.9.11 which is already in Debian. Unluckily, the upstream rewrite of the network code requires a brand new dependency which wasn't in either Debian or Ubuntu yet, haskell-dataenc. Due to that, Debian has temporarily disabled the network features.
The new dependency was finally accepted into Debian the other day. I just got it synced to Ubuntu. It is now waiting for approval in the NEW queue.
So long story short, we should be able to get 0.9.11 with network features re-enabled into Karmic shortly, and our long haskell headache will soon be over.
(Unless of course if you want to backport. Unfortunately, at the least you will have to backport the new dependency, but I fear that you might need to backport a chunk of the haskell stack as well.)
