Jerome, i think you misunderstood, what he wants is not to do a : depend: ocamlnet (>= 4.5.6), ocamlnet (<4.5.7) but to use a virtual package like ocaml does, that is ocamlnet 4.5.6 would : provide: ocamlnet-4.5.6. And what would be in the policy would be an explanation, plus some text making this mandatory to be policy compliant. Friendly, Sven Luther
