+ <filename>libxxx-ocaml-dev</filename> should depend on its
+ companion <filename>libxxx-ocaml</filename> package (if any).
+ The reason is that at compile time the &ocaml-name; compiler
+ will try to load the shared library stubs, aborting the
+ compilation in case of failure. Hence the development package
+ is useless if the corresponding stub package is missing. To
+ ensure compatibility the dependency among the two packages
+ should be strictly versioned. In order for the resulting
+ packages to be <ulink
+ url="http://wiki.debian.org/binNMU";>binNMU safe</ulink> this
+ requirement states that the dependency should make use of a
+ <code>${binary:Version}</code> substitution variable.
