Sounds good. Until gtk2hs is cabalized you probably can’t use
haskell-utils directly, but if you agree with it’s way of handling
dependencies, you can adopt that of course.

Personally, I see cdbs as the right tool for packages that build and
install in a very standard way, i.e., if no or very little modification
to the building has to be done, and I doubt that this applies to gtk2hs.
OTOH, since you are stepping up as the maintainer of gtk2hs, if you
prefer cdbs, you are welcome to use it, of course.

You didn’t upload a package with an unversioned dependency on ghc6 yet,
right? So I can upload that if you want, but if you prefer to work on
the packaging yet some more, that’s fine with me.
