It might be, but that's out of bounds for me. I tried, but DrIFT 2.4.2 uses a different build mechanism than 2.3.2 (Setup.hs vs autoconf) and with my limited knowledge of Haskell I'm not able to fix that up.
So the options we have (in order of preference) are:
a) someone else looks into that creating a proper package for 2.4.2
b) we just use what I prepared (i.e. an NMU based on 2.3.2)
c) remove drift as it doesn't build for ages and isn't installable in
anything later than wheezy (#753765) and has a low popcon.
Given that I already did everything necessary for b) and assuming that
a) won't happen soon and that doing b) now doesn't stop others doing a)
later: Maybe just stick to b) for now to address #753765 and #713313?
