would dropping ghc6/ia64 from testing be still acceptable? that
would potentially allow ghc 6.10.x to testing for the rest of archs.

perhaps someone at the ia64 list can provide such machine.
I can probably provide a arm(el) buildbot machine if someone can
host it.

this question was not answered yet (and I’m not sure if it was directed
to the release team, the haskell team or the ia64 guys). I’d be in favor
of that step. It would make
http://release.debian.org/migration/testing.pl?package=ghc6
give better hints as to what is to do besides waiting for ghc6 on ia64.

Greetings,
