I'm running the current latest release of Ubuntu and using the latest
ghc they offer.

The Ubuntu people just grab their version from Debian. I'm actually
tracking the Debian Haskell mailing list and just in the last week
there was an announcement of ghc-6.10.1 going into the experimental
repository. Then they need to compile all the libraries with the new
compiler.

I'm thinking of grabbing the debian source package from Debian 
experimental and building it on Ubuntu.
