This isn't really a Debian specific comment, so we might want to move to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or somewhere if we want to discuss it further.

I think it would be nice to avoid putting "hs", "haskell" etc in the
cabal package name of Haskell libraries, because it's redundant. There
is precedent for not doing so in the libraries that are and were
distributed with GHC etc.

When Haskell packages get put into more general contexts (like Debian)
we can mangle the name in a consistent way.

So in this case we'd have a cabal package called "ftp" and a Debian
(source) package called "haskell-ftp".

Any other opinions?


I'm also nervous about names like "ftp" being taken on a first-come
first-served basis, but I think that's something the community will have
to address if it turns out to be a problem. (I'm not objecting in this
particular case; indeed, your API documentation link leads to an empty
directory so I have no idea what's in it and so I have no opinion at all
:-)  ).


Thanks
Ian
