No. I meant Haskell Unsafe. I built the packages I spoke of last week
(there was an earlier upload, as I recall). The binary packages are
only there for amd64, but since I was building from source anyway,
that didn't make a difference.

If they're in unstable, that helps. The tricky thing turns out to be
that some of 6.8.2's build-deps are only in unstable as well (like the
most recent haddock), so you need to spend some time chasing down and
building dependencies. That's certainly easier if you're not jumping
back between unstable and Haskell Unsafe as I was.
