Bug#962850: haskell-platform: New upstream version

[Shayan Doust]

Package: haskell-platform
Version: 2014.2.0.0.debian8
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

I am not too informed on Haskell but I'm not sure if haskell-platform[1] still (or if it did) follow Stackage
LTS, however the latest version is now available labelled as Haskell
16.0 featuring the newer ghc-8.8.3[2].

Kind regards,
Shayan Doust
