Now, i am a bit baffled, i don't really know who is the human reading
this, but my understanding of the libdevel section stuff and such is
that :


  o All libfoo-ocaml packages should go into the libs section.
    They are runtime libraries needed to actually run the binaries
    linked to them.

  o All libfoo-ocaml-dev packages should go into the libdevel section
    (would be nice if the changelog vim syntax would know about them
    also though). They are needed to build binaries, and as thus are
    rightly placed in the development library section.

  o But what about the foo source package which contain these two ?
    Should it also have a section, and if yes, which ?
