I don’t think that there is such a big difference there. The commands
called are the same (compile Setup.*hs, configure, build, install with
--destdir), and the library-sepecifc stuff is already in dh_haskell_*
commands that should go well with dh.

OTOH thinks work well now, so there is no pressing need to change the
running system.


Greetings,
Joachim
