Why do you want to scrapp something I need? The point is that I get a

I already worked on this and it is far more complicated than
shipping some files. In my case, there are so many dependencies,
that it is simple to build against a self-compiled ocaml-source.

I need ocaml-source.

I don't see any problem in providing such a package. I don't
understand why you suddenly want to remove it.

I'm ceasing camelon packaging anyway, so I'm not going to be
annoyed by your choices.
