Binary package hint: ghc6

The current Dapper version of ghc6 (6.4.1) has some annoyances related to package handling - e.g. building cabalized libraries with profiling doesn't work. Currently, this means that I must manually install new versions of Cabal and central libraries to get an adequate system. I believe 6.4.2 fixes this and many other issues, while being very backwards compatible.

Thus, although for myself I'll probably switch to Edgy when it stabilizes, I think it would be a good idea to have 6.4.2 available for Dapper as well.
