crimsundunno if anyone is around, but for people new to packaging, MOTU, and StableReleaseUpdates, I'll describe briefly what was done to verify a straightforward SRU candidate as documented at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2009-December/010272.html06:51
crimsunwhat we have here is an uninstallable package due to specific versioned dependencies generated at compile time06:52
crimsunessentially what was done: simply increment the version in debian/rules, regenerate the source package, pass the source package to pbuilder to generate a binary package of libghc6-src-exts-dev_1.0.1-1build2_amd64.deb to test-install through piuparts06:53
crimsunonce again, it's very straightforward to spend a few minutes and catch these sorts of drive-by/opportunistic "bug reports" on mailing lists, identi.ca, twitter.com, etc.06:54
