I hacked up a package not too long ago. I just dumped it into http://andrew.pimlott.net/tmp/wxhaskell/
However, it was built with ghc 6.4.1, and I noticed 6.4.2 just entered unstable. So I guess you can either hold that package or recompile. The source isn't properly packaged, but wxhaskell-0.9.4 is the Debian tree and wxhaskell-0.9.4.orig is the upstream tree. I don't really know how to create Debian packages properly, and I meant to get around to learning, but haven't yet. Maybe it's useful nonetheless. If I get time, I'll try to clean it up and do it right. BTW, if I recall right, an issue with this package is that it should be built against a wxwidgets configured with --disable-unicode. The Debian wxwidgets of course isn't built this way. I didn't feel like building my own wxwidgets too, so I recklessly ignored this issue, no doubt inviting chaos if any unicode characters are used. But it seems to work fine here in ascii land.
