The only reason would be that it isn't in my GHC install by default (I'm
on Debian Sid).  However, I suppose I can look at this as an excellent
first experiment with Cabal and packaging Haskell libs for Debian :-)

Thanks for pointing it out.  Looks like a perfect fit for me!

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

Programs should be written for people to read, and only incidentally
for machines to execute.
