The compiler itself is considered stable upstream and I'd argue that the
number of reverse dependencies is not necessarily a measure of its
usefulness.

>   * It FTBFS with the latest Haskell libraries available in Debian

… which has been reported a few days ago at best. I'm aware of the
FTBFS, I haven't had time to investigate yet.

>   * Seems unmaintained; Last upload more than 5 years ago

No. According to debian/changelog, the last upload by myself was on Nov
1 2023 – almost one year ago. You may have been referring to the
upstream project which hasn't seen updates since 2019; for that, see
above.

>   * It's not part of the latest Stackage LTS

How is this relevant to what packages are allowed to be distributed with
as part of Debian?

>   * Newer versions are not uploaded to Hackage

How is this relevant?

Cheers,
