I would expect it to add Depends: libghc6-x11-xft-dev making an uninstallable package? > I also see that there is a special casing for Win32.

My plan is to have some way for the package to specify Cabal flags, possibly with my_cabal_flags="..." in the varfile, and then to call the appropriate Cabal function to flatten them correctly. These same flags would be passed to Setup configure in debian/rules. > Or should I just patch out the unused flag from the cabal > file before running update-haskell-control? That sounds like the easiest short-term fix, yeah.
