Mmm, and what about lablgtk ? we already have liblablgtk-ocaml and liblablgtk2-ocaml. BTW, maybe libfoo-ocaml-dev could also provide foo, to help users (and ourselves also) easily finding them and installing them ? This would be only for convenience, no other packages should depend on it. Friendly, Sven Luther
