Hi Ian, Ross and other interested parties,

I maintain the haskell-filepath Debian source package from which the
following packages are build:

haskell-filepath-doc - API documentation of the Haskell FilePath library
libghc6-filepath-dev - GHC 6 library for manipulating FilePath's
libghc6-filepath-prof - GHC 6 profiling library for manipulating FilePath's
libhugs-filepath - Hugs library for manipulating FilePath's


As GHC 6 now ships the Filepath package I am a little bit unsure what to
do with my packages. Should I a keep on building the binary packages for
GHC 6 or should I replace them by dummy packages which depend on the
appropriate binary packages of ghc6?

I am leaning towards the last option which would mean that
haskell-filepath would produce the following packages:

haskell-filepath-doc - dummy package depending on ghc6-doc?
libghc6-filepath-dev - dummy package depending on ghc6
libghc6-filepath-prof - dummy package depending on ghc6-prof
libhugs-filepath - Hugs library for manipulating FilePath's


I am not sure if this is the best option though. Any opinions?

It would be nice if Hugs would also start shipping filepath, so I could
drop the libhugs-filepath package as well. Maybe Ross can comment on
that?

Greetings Arjan
