Hello,

Now that the OCaml 3.11.0 transition is (almost) complete, I've run some
checks against packages currently in unstable to spot possibly
problematic packages w.r.t. possible future changes we've discussed
(for d-o-m-maintained packages, uploaders are not shown):


 * Moving `ocamlc -where` to /usr/lib/ocaml: we haven't decided yet if
   we do the change or not, but we agreed that packages should no rely
   on the current layout anyway. The following packages assume a
   versioned layout of /usr/lib/ocaml and should be fixed to use
   directly `ocamlc -where` instead:

    Debian OCaml Maintainers <[email protected]>
       cmigrep
       lablgtk2
       mlgmp
       ocaml-bjack
       ocamlduce
       pcre-ocaml

    Cyril Brulebois <[email protected]>
       graphviz

    Mike Furr <[email protected]>
       felix
       ocaml-getopt
       ocamlcreal
       otags

    Sylvain Le Gall <[email protected]>
       felix (U)

    Christoph Martin <[email protected]>
       sks (U)

    Fabio M. Di Nitto <[email protected]>
       sks (U)

    Peter Palfrader <[email protected]>
       sks

    John Skaller <[email protected]>

 * The following packages still use old locations of files provided by
   dh-ocaml (we must fix them before removing compatibility symlinks in
   /usr/share/cdbs/1/class):

    Debian OCaml Maintainers <[email protected]>
       json-static
       json-wheel
       lablgl
       mlpost
       ocaml-bitstring
       ocurl
       xmlrpc-light

    Enrico Tassi <[email protected]>
       ocaml-expat


These changes are not urgent, but should be done (IMHO). I suggest to
file bugreports with severity wishlist (or higher?) with some usertag to
keep track of the progress on this topic.

Any comments/oppositions?


Cheers,
