I still think this is a bug in yaml, so I prefer to fix it there, instead of keeping forever an haskell-yaml patch (not upstreamable, because they embed a fixed yaml library inside their code) [3] https://packages.qa.debian.org/h/haskell-yaml.html lets wait some more time, hopefully upstream will give us some nice opinion. BTW, I posted patches here, but I don't have intention to NMU, so feel free as usual to take/discard whatever I changed :) yaml is a critical piece of software, I don't want to break stuff thanks, G.
