No problem - I just try understand this bug - even if solved by now.

I suspect it was simply a confusion: Only change to build-dependencies 
that I see is special-casing due to "Early versions of hashable 1.2 are 
problematic" and core libraries - neither of which are relevant to 
Debian.

Hmm - at least I cannot confirm that:

~$ grep polyparse 
swish.cabal 
  * Updated the upper bound on the polyparse dependency.
      polyparse >= 1.6 && <= 1.9,


@Clint: Can you please shed some light on your choices during upgrading 
the haskell-swish package?

...and please pretty please in the future be a bit more verbose in 
changelog and commit messages.


 - Jonas
