for what I recall, when one ask findlib to load say "foo", it look for a file named /usr/lib/ocaml/foo/META and make what it should with it. So I only apply this. Also if you look to the /usr/lib/ocaml/unix and /usr/lib/ocaml/str directories that are in the package ocaml-findlib you will see that they are directories containing only a META file. I've done the same here. may be something might be done with findlib predicate, but i don't know enought findlib for this. > I think it would be highly appreciated if we added a findlib entry in the > debian/ocaml policy.

I also belive that it would be clearer if the directories that contain the META file where somwhere else (say /usr/share/findlib or something like that) but this may need to modify findlib, and i don't know if this is usefull. > Any comment on those ?
