I think the current policy is to support whatever the current Debian
stable provides (which is a patched GHC 6.8.2 at the moment).

I've taken the liberty of documenting it here
   http://wiki.darcs.net/Development/Policy

I'm definitely keen to hear if there are ways we can loosen this
without hurting Debian folks too much.  Maybe Darcs has reached a
point where we can afford for people on Debian stable to just stick
with old Darcs?

Dumping old GHC would make me happy.
