Comment 12 for bug 263773

If I remember correctly, there are packages which have hardcoded (build-)dependencies with some haskell-related packages, so package list could be longer than the actual. Debian didn't manage to move to 6.8.3 yet (in experimental neither), so this job would be all ours.

Suppose a package wouldn't be transitioned for some reasons, are there known issues (package no longer functional, data loss, and so on) that can be worse than performance issues?
