Note that the haskell platform specifies version 2.2.3.0 for OpenGL, so
this is the „standard“ stable version that we want in Debian. Unless
there are strong reasons for it, we will not put more than one version
of a library in Debian.

Also, the 2.4.0.0 series of OpenGL splits out a lot of very minor
modules (ObjectName, StateVar) which causes quite some work for the
Debian maintainers, therefore I’m not very eager to tackle this version.

I assume you know that you can always use cabal-install to use the newer
version for your projects.

Greetings,
Joachim
