Hi Michael!

That's actually awesome, thanks for sharing the script.

In this context, I would like to make a suggestion: How about we all porters
join forces and help each other with the binNMUs? My suggestion would be to
give everyone of us porters permission to all architectures, so that we can
modify this script to do the binNMUs for Haskell on all architectures at the
same time.

Currently, GHC has been bootstrapped for these ports architectures:

- alpha
- hppa
- ppc64
- sparc64
- x32

For these architectures, I am currently bootstrapping GHC:

- m68k (currently building .debs)
- sh4  (currently building .debs)
- powerpcspe (needs minor upstream fixes)

I currently know of the following active porters:

- David Anglin
- Helge Deller
- Michael Cree
- John Paul Adrian Glaubitz
- Hiroyuki Yamamoto

I would be happy to let anyone of the above do binNMUs for the architectures
that I maintain. I think if we joined forces, we could improve the state of
Debian Ports overall since we will be able to assist each other with the
wanna-build work etc.

What do you guys think?

Adrian
