In fact, I use -package text.
But how come that this package is deprecated? There is a lot of stuff in 
it. Moreover, I never got a warning that it is deprecated. In contrast, 
I am being told that I should replace 'import Html' by 'import 
Text.Html', e.g.

As to the fact, that you cannot reproduce my problem, two explanations 
come to mind: Either the Debian package does not really contain 6.4.1 or 
the problem arises from my specific combination of parameters, which I 
do not have at hand right now, unfortunately.
