I’m sorry about the extra convenience. I did file the RM bug together with moving everything from experimental to unstable: We had (and still have) the aim to get everything through unstable very quickly. I definitely do not want Haskell to be in an unreleaseable state in unstable for longer than necessary. I also believe I gave an early enough warning on haskell-arm. I did the mistake of not indicating on the removal bug that you planned to start working on it in time, and then suddenly the ftp masters acted... Sorry for that. I hope using either the package from testing or from snapshots.d.o you can still continue your (very valued!) work.
