I think I have finished updating all packages to the new
approved templates in git master branches.  There is no
urgency/need to backport the changes at this point.

There are a few remaining build failures with ghc-7.6.3:

  ForSyde
  happstack-server
  ghc-hledger-lib (hledger)
  cab
  cabal-dev
  leksah-server (leksah)

also git-annex needs to be bumped but that needs some additional new deps.

Any help with those would be appreciated.

I have submitted extensible-exceptions which was dropped from ghc-7.6
and Shakthi has kindly taken the review.  Once that is ready I hope
to start building shortly in rawhide.

Jens
