You might want to have a look at how this is done in ocaml (another
ML implementation). In ocaml, the runtime system has been split off
in order to accomodate application packages that are compiled into
ocaml bytecode. Concerning developer packages it is probably not
worth it to split it into too many packages (like seperate
packages for lex, yacc, etc.). But it also dependes on the size
of these packages.
There is also a mailing list debian-ocaml-maint@lists.debian.org
where you can ask.
