Bug#1006573: haskell-devscripts: CDBS module incompatible with debhelper-compat (= 10)

[Felix Lechner]

Package: haskell-devscripts
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

In my 'kickoff' sources, which use the CDBS module hlibrary.mk, the
d/compat file must be present. When I delete d/compat and instead
specify debhelper-compat (= 10) in Build-Depends, a d/compat file with
the value '5' is created. That causes follow-on issues like the one at
the bottom of this message.

This bug is merely a wishlist item in case someone plans to fix
hlibrary.mk. The issue goes away with the dh sequencer from
dh-haskell, which may be a better option for other reasons, as well.

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
