dh_haskell_shlibdeps(1) calculates Haskell external dependencies on Cabalized

DESCRIPTION

dh_haskell_shlibdeps is a debhelper program that helps with calculating external dependencies for building Haskell libraries.

It automates building libraries for the different supported Haskell systems in Debian.

This script writes the debian/$package.substvars file, including in it the shlibs:Depends variable. So, to use this package, include in the Depends: field in debian/control ${shlibs:Depends}.

BUGS

hugs and ghc are the only supported targets at the moment. Cabal does not yet support nhc98.
