Indeed - last release I held off uploading a new upstream release in an attempt to play the team game and not be the cause of release delays, and I took a lot of flak from Haskellers for doing so. The release then dragged on forever as the rest of Debian appeared uninterested in playing the team game. > While I like progress, I don't think it > was very smart to upload GHC 6.6 to unstable just before the general > freeze.

FTBFS in unstable is not grounds for removal from testing. It would of course be great if we could fix all the FTBFSs in unstable before the freeze so that Debian we will be one fewer major releases of GHC out of date while etch is stable. If anyone has trouble fixing one then please send a message to the list, and hopefully one of us can have a look at it.
