ELF binaries produced by the OCaml compiler always include a bit of C
code (the runtime), so they are never actually "pure".

I don't think that the lintian tag (whatever its level) should be
removed at the moment. I am not planning to have a deeper looker at this
issue before next release or next debconf, though.
