[xmonad] xmonad packages broken in Debian

[Brandon Allbery]

They said "upstream", not specifically us, and I'd imagine if their
base package is uninstallable they've got problems with GHC itself.
That said, I wonder why the package is available at all if it's
uninstallable. Could you link us to the discussion you mentioned?
