After just going through a bit of pain with having to constrain

wondering how long more we're going to support GHC 6.8 for. Do we
have a policy on this already? If not can we start discussing it?
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 suspect some confusion has arisen because until very recently (like, a
week ago) both stable and testing shipped GHC 6.8. Thanks to the
sterling work of the debian-haskell group, testing now ships GHC 6.12.
For what it's worth, I don't think it's a matter of confusion. It wasn't
that we believed we could support Debian packaging best by supporting
stable, we just felt that Debian stable was a good indicator of what was
reasonable to expect our users to have.
Cheers,
