Mmm, too late i guess you already left for vacation. I will try to upload the ocaml package today or tommorow then. (BTW, i was going to suggest you upload it with a dependency on ocaml (>=3.04-14), so it can get build but would be useable only if ocaml is there. > The only trouble for the user maybe that dynamic linking wont be > available until they install the ocaml package that will provide > /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs as search path for shared objects.

Mmm, did we not speak about putting user installed stuff into /usr/local/lib/ocaml/stublibs ? and keeping the /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs for the debian packages. I know there were some doubts about the usability of this, but the longer i think about it, the more i feel it is best to separate the stuff (and it would be more policy compliant also).
