I do not think that we should change that behaviour. IMHO, this package is rather useful for for ocaml programmers who wish to have the latest version of that file for their own projects, independently of whether this is for building debian packages or not. So we shouldn't deviate from OCamlMakfile's standard behaviour without a very good reason. If you believe that it is *in general* a bad idea to use CUSTIM_MODE than this should be fixed by upstream.
