ghc6: yes, I'd personally like to see it fixed in hardy. I only wanted to wait
a bit after the last two uploads to intrepid, just in case. But I think, we
should go ahead now. Imho the best step would be to just ship the same
version (only version number adjust) that we have in intrepid right now to
hardy via SRU. What do you think?

darcs: it's still version 1.something, is it affected as well? (oh, and once
we've got the fix of ghc6 in, we could request a backport of darcs).

That would be excellent, thanks for the offer!

Cheers,
