+The difficulty with using cabal on Debian testing (and unstable) is that Debian has an older version of Yesod, and I have not managed to get cabal to work with both versions at once.
+
+If you build using the Makefile, it currently uses the old version of Yesod, so that'll work.
+
+The [package from unstable](http://packages.debian.org/sid/git-annex) should install ok on testing.
