Right, a file must be added into tasksel/tasks/, hints are available in tasksel/tasks/README. This added file will contain the task description, and as it is now translatable, the sooner it is included in SVN, the better. > Ideally, we should prepare a list of all packages that should go in the > ocaml task.

Libraries should not be included unless they are really generic, but other tools could be listed, like ocamlcvs, ocaml-findlib, ocaml-ulex, ocaml-wlex, tuareg-mode, ... (I do not use these tools, but gather this list from the package description, so it may be inaccurate) After writing and testing your tasksel/tasks/ocaml-dev file, you could file a bugreport against tasksel. IMO it will then be considered, see eg http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=226861&msg=13&att=0 Denis
