thanks for the clarifications. Upstream has released a version
compatible with 4.x under a separate package name (zeromq4-haskell), I
am considering to simply package that and ask for removal of
zeromq3-haskell – at least if hbro, the only user of zeromq3-haskell,
has upgraded to the new version.

Greetings,
Joachim
