Julien, or someone else with emacs knowledge, could you please look at this issue? Let's just ripe the emacsen stuff in its one package and be done with this. It would be a ocaml-emacs binary package coming from the main ocaml source package, that would be the easiest way.

That is true, but your prerm script uses emacs, so your package has to (pre)depend on emacs or something. # Automatically added by dh_installemacsen if [ -x /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-remove ] ; then /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-remove ocaml-nox fi Last night, when I cleaned up the buildd again, I thought I had all of ocaml removed, only to notice this morning, that 146 packages failed to build, because some ocaml zombies were still hiding on the system, preventing any other package from being installed. I don't care if you have a separate ocaml-emacs package, I just want to be able to remove ocaml-* without manually editing some packaging scripts. The alternative would be to leave ocaml installed, it gets pulled in anyhow everytime I build an ocaml related package. But then it would not get upgraded automatically whenever you release a new version, so packages depending on ocaml will be built against outdated packages. The third alternative (can there be more than two alternatives?) I am thinking about, is instructing my buildds never to touch anything ocaml related again, I don't like packages that break my buildd, epscially when we are fighting a backlog.

No, I can't, since when prerm is invoked .md5sums entries are still in /var/lib/ocaml/md5sums/. Still this is not a problem, invoking it on postrm only if ocaml-md5sums is available is fine since as long as it is not available .md5sums entries are useless.
