Initially I thought I would get install Haskell with couple of commands using apt-get but its seems somehow complex.
As I look at the haskell org download page, I downloaded haskell-platform-2013.2.0.0.tar.gz. Then next step is somehow confusing. It ask to install GHC before installing platform but at the same time if one opens GHC download page , it shows some warning e.g Stop ! ..... we recommend installing the Haskell Platform instead of GHC.
Please guide me how to install Haskell on Debian Wheezy. Can we build a .deb installation package from this package ?

Run the command "$ sudo apt-get install haskell-platform" and press Enter. It will automatically start downloading Haskell on your system after authenticating you with the root password. After installing, you will receive a confirmation message.
If you have installed the Haskell Platform, open a terminal and type ghci (the name of the executable of the GHC interpreter) at the command prompt. Alternatively, if you are on Windows, you may choose WinGHCi in the Start menu. And you are presented with a prompt. The Haskell system now attentively awaits your input.
$ sudo apt-get install haskell-platform [haskell-platform-doc]
On Debian Jessie, the above will install an outdated Haskell distribution. The latest can still be installed by downloading the "generic" Linux tarball for the Haskell platform.
