[Agda] Maintenance status of Agda dependencies

[Joachim Breitner]

Hi,

I’m still working on packaging Agda 2.4 for Debian. It has a few new
dependencies, among them "boxes". But it seems that boxes is not an
actively developed library:

https://github.com/Eelis/boxes/issues/4#issuecomment-50233208


Are the Agda developers are going to care about such dependencies?

In general I’d advise to be selective in what you depend on. Hackage is
a code dump, and not everything there has the stability and maintenance
status that a high-profile package like Agda should demand.

It would also make downstream packager’s work easier.

Greetings,
Joachim
