Comment 29 for bug 1073730

Backports are ideally supposed to work without any changes. Based on previous comments in this bug, it sounds like this patch is probably not what you want. To make this easier for backports you would either need to make packaging changes which would only apply this patch on raring and later, or submit a different patch that handles both ghc-7.6 as well as earlier ghc. To me, this is an upstream issue and any patch should be submitted there first, since they presumably want to support ghc-7.6. I suggest talking with upstream, then getting this into Debian experimental and then requesting a sync to Ubuntu so that we don't have an Ubuntu delta.

I am unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors for now. When you've decided how to proceed and there is something to sponsor, please feel free to resubscribe. Thanks!
