Hi,

Some clarification:
  * you have to install yourself all the C libraries (libX-dev)
  * you have to install the ocaml libraries (libocamlX-dev) that are
not shipped by us
  * you can install yourself (e.g. apt) our ocaml libraries
    but it's not recommended if you build from SVN of full tarball
  * when building the full tarball or SVN, the PACKAGES file indicates
which libraries
    should be taken in the current directory rather than from a global install;
    this does not forbid the use of a global install for other ocaml libs

The made-in-savonet glue is shipped together with the full, so you
don't have to build it separately, and don't have to install it at
all.

Once liquidsoap is compiled it just needs the C libraries (libX,
without -dev) to run. If you need to recompile then you need the C and
OCaml libraries development version. There's no reason for all these
packages to disappear. The only risks are that backward compatibility
is not always maintained, and some bugs may be fixed only in the later
versions. If you notify us of a problem, we should be able to fix it,
and we'll try harder if it's a stable version of liquidsoap (0.9.3 is
not, but 1.0 will be); also, being on Debian means more responsive
ocaml packages.
