hothasktags only produces VIM ctag files but no emacs etag files. Emacs haskell-
mode seems to expect and only support hasktags.
I just did an experimental packaging of hasktags just by running
cabal-debian --debianize --quilt
over the code as explained in
http://www.mhatta.org/blog/2013/03/21/recipe-for-debian-haskell-packaging
AND IT WORKED!!!
I've never ever had such a great packaging experience in any other language!
I reviewed the source code and signed it:
https://github.com/thkoch2001/hasktags
I would be very thankful, if somebody with more debian-haskell experience
could package (and maybe even backport) hasktags. As I wrote, it seems to be
the only missing part to set up a basic but productive emacs based development
environment on Debian.
