I have updated the "downloads" page with the new location of the .deb
packages.  Thanks to Brent for the updated information.

It looks as though the debian installation of ghc is non-standard.
All of ghc-5.02.2, ghci-5.02.2, and ghc-pkg-5.02.2, should exist in
addition to ghc, ghci, and ghc-pkg.  The idea is that you can have
several versions of ghc installed simultaneously, and refer to the
version number explicitly to select any non-default one.
