I've backported many of the haskell libraries git-annex depends on in
the past months. I am now stuck on multiple fronts.

Current status is:

haskell-lens
        Test suite fails on multiple architectures, so is not reaching testing.
haskell-dav
        Needs lens in testing. Or a rather simple change to not need
        this lens stuff, which looks more appealing with every day that
        goes on :P
haskell-gnutls
        Version in wheezy will sometimes crash with a segfault.
        I have made multiple attempts to upload this to backports and
        they have all been REJECTED.. except for my last try on Jun
        17th, which appears to have gone into limbo instead.
haskell-network-protocol-xmpp
        Will need to be rebuilt to use new haskell-gnutls version,
        but currently wheezy and testing have the same version;
        a new version is tied up in a ghc transition.
        It does not seem possible to upload a newer version to
        backports until testing has something newer, and I have not
        investigated what would be needed to get a binNMU done in
        backports.

While it would be possible to build a git-annex backport without XMPP or
WebDAV, these are rather important features.
