Mmm, what do you mean by old spurious entries ? Do you mean by that directories held by packages that are no more on the system, or just empty lines. Maybe i could add another tool that would check the directories and remove empty lines (or better lines not hold by a package; i suppose it is the packages responsability to remove empty lines) and just run it when the ocam lpackage is upgraded (not everytime we use ocaml-ldconf).
