ouch, embarrassing. Thanks for noticing!

I wonder how that did happen? template-debian/control is correct...

No, that would just be bug spam. We can always get a current list on
vasks via
$ grep  -l package/haskell- /darcs/pkg-haskell/*/control |cut -d/ -f 4
(beware, there is one false positive: haskell-src!)

DHG: Who feels like doing some mass changes here? We should not do
uploads for that, but make sure that the next upload of these packages
fixes the problem?

Greetings,
Joachim
