Great idea... By the way, is there also a custom field for upstream homepage/upstream download page/upstream bugs ? If you want to change any of my packages, using your diff, you can ! This should also be added to the pkg-ocaml-maint SVN howto (don't remember where it is, i think it is an appendix of the ocaml policy which can be found in the ocaml package).
