Thanks for all the responses. I'll start with LYAH.
I really want to get into Haskell, but I just don't understand it. The tutorial on the official site doesn't do it for me. Can anyone suggest alternative resources for learning? I'm used to C-like languages. Thanks for all the responses. I'll start with LYAH.

There is also Real World Haskell [0]. It's a lot less long winded than LYaH, which is good or bad depending on how you like to digest information.
Also, check out FP Complete's FP Haskell Center [1]. It contains community written tutorials with inline runnable code examples, so you can really get a feel for Haskell by manipulating and playing with the examples right on the site.

I'm intrigued by "full iOS support." Does this mean it's now possible to write iOS apps using a Haskell backend?
I'm also intrigued. How would one program for iOS in a practical sense with Haskell? A great deal of iOS programming, as I understand it, is navigating the APIs and libraries provided by the SDK... is this a simple task in Haskell? The FFI is something I haven't really dealt with much yet. I guess people could/will start writing wrapper libraries?
I'd also highly recommend c2hs for writing new wrapper libraries.
What will be the easiest way to get GHC 7.8.1 running alongside the official GHC packages for Debian (specifically Jessie)? Should I download a package from http://deb.haskell.org/ ? If so, where can I find 7.8.1?

Haskell has one of the best FFIs I've ever seen; calling C code from Haskell is quite trivial, and you can write all of the necessary wrapper code and objects (such as automatic memory management or object destruction) in Haskell using common wrappers. I'd also highly recommend c2hs for writing new wrapper libraries.

They are packaged for Ubuntu, technically (12.04 Precise) but you can just add the apt-repository line to your `sources.list` and it will work fine, and plenty of people are doing this.
A repository for the STABLE branch will eventually appear on http://deb.haskell.org, but I'm not sure when Joachim will do this.
