This may pose problems on bytecode architectures during transitions... at least if we add a runtime package to cmdliner. By the way, it makes me think that the dependencies automatically filled by dh_ocaml are too coarse. If pkg ocaml-depends on Module and provides it, there is (probably) no need to depend on libmodule-ocaml. Cheers, -- Stéphane
