 I could not find already existing ticket and so I'm creating this one.

 Ben mentioned (in his latest status update on GHC devops mailing list)
 that we need to do building on non-Debian-based systems on CI.

 To quote:

 > e. Support for building on non-Debian-based systems (e.g. Fedora), which
 is necessary if we want to produce our binary distributions  via CI.

 So this ticket is to track progress on that. I'm planning to start working
 on this tomorrow perhaps.
