I'm interested to try out the latest changes from "screened", but it
appears that the version requirements for GHC have changed.

Ubuntu 10.04 (supported until April 2015) has only 6.12, so I get this:

  setup: The program ghc version >=7.0 && <7.6 is required but the
  version found

What's the recommendation for Ubuntu 10.04 users who would like to use
the latest darcs?
