Er, _alternatives_, not diversions, is the proper mechanism for this.
I am not a Debian maintainer (yet), but I seem to know a bit more
about the system than some official maintainers :(
And, being a major contributor to the original ocaml Emacs mode, I
naturally continue to use it and would be somewhat unpleasantly
surprised if installation of some unrelated utilities suddenly caused
tuareg to be used instead. Whatever solution you choose please avoid
that trap.
