Ok, I'll update that then until the upstream repo changes their mind.

I see. There might be the possibility of checking the remote repository
for new tags, without having to clone these into the repository
itself. According to [0] the command

        git ls-remote --tags </url/to/upstream/repo>

could generate such a listing. And in fact,

$ git ls-remote --tags https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode
e72677668f5fc7cc148008e885a0f256e245dd43	refs/tags/17.2
8c49232e5e507cd978aaa5a33cbf8dda7b43518f	refs/tags/2_5_1
72d395fc5fe49834116c0aaeb25d1731fa47d72c	refs/tags/2_5_1^{}
22a963b80c32cd9c16f804341cdbe41c801470e8	refs/tags/2_6
4a16cc3367aa067a71d8dd74bab1d6de45b09bfa	refs/tags/2_6^{}
753421777852b0dde5c8f899ccbd6920c10f2f43	refs/tags/2_6_1
...

gives me a list of commits and tags, that could be sorted to find the
newest version.
