Package: dh-ocaml
Version: 3.9
Severity: wishlist

Dear dh-ocaml maintainers,

416 OCaml packages (all OCaml packages?) install multiple files
in /var/lib/ocaml/{lintian,md5sums}/.

Would it be possible to change the way these packages are built, so that
they do not ship any files under /var, a directory meant to "[contain]
_variable_ data files" (FHS)?

These files could be installed, as suggested in <https://bugs.debian.org/1125673#35>, in:

/usr/lib/$arch/dh-ocaml/$pkg/

or

/usr/lib/$arch/ocaml-integration/$pkg/

similarly to Ruby's

/usr/lib/$arch/rubygems-integration/$api-ver/gems/$pkg

Regards,
