Debian unstable has ghc 6.8.2 now (see http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/ghc6/news/20080106T214705Z.html). > *Maybe* the reason is that many sub libraries need to be rebuilt with > a new compiler, > and *maybe* this is a lot of job, I don't know. I've also seen some uploads of other haskell packages but didn't pay to much attention at the changelog. The haskell packages have a very strict dependency on the ghc6 package so they need at least be rebuild with the newer ghc6. If you are interested to see a newer ghc6 in hardy, a list of packages which need to be synced from Debian unstable would be helpful.
