many thanks for this and all the other bug reports you and Dave and probably 
other filed! I recently noticed this and was+am quite happy about this. Time 
to close #584125?

Maybe I don't understand what you mean but I don't see the problem here.

haskell-edison-api/1.2.1-15 is buggy, end of story. It doesnt matter that 
haskell-edison-api/1.2.1-15 installs fine in wheezy, this package just has a 
bug which is triggered by other conditions (=upgrades from squeeze). Thats 
just "bugginess as usual" :-)

I dont see why.

If a package supporting mysql and postgresql has a bug using mysql it's 
pointless to make that bug affecting mysql. Or am I totally wrong with this 
comparision?
