Thanks! I’ll reassign the bug to dpkg so that you have something to
close :-)

I am always a bit worried about the ABI hashes in haskell packages
changing unexpectedly, requiring rebuilds of many haskell libraries. I
don’t _expect_ that to happen, but I’d rather not risk it in the middle
of the transition. Plus there are the old packages that should, IMHO,
not fail with dpkg.

Greetings,
Joachim
