Package up `pipes` packages for various package repositories #3

After releasing pipes-4.0.0 I would like to package pipes packages for the most common package managers. A lot of people place greater trust in packages that are available from a package manager because they view them as more mature and stable.

The most common distributions with package managers I know of in the Linux world are the ones that Hackage tracks:

Additionally, it might also be worth targeting non-Linux platforms as well, such as Mac (i.e. MacPorts / HomeBrew / Fink) and maybe Windows (NuGet), although I don't know how much effort those would entail.

I think the best approach is to target one distribution at a time, not progressing to the next one until the packaging process for that distribution has been completely automated. My first priority is Debian followed by any other operating systems anybody else suggests.

Arch Linux has great support for Haskell in its repositories. I run both Arch and Debian (wheezy), so I can help with that.

I'll help with Debian, too, since that's the platform I use the most.

I have already done the work for NixOS and will continue maintaining that.
