ok, but please send me the log. I will then just filter out the accesses to
ocaml sourcedirectory, and thus know which files are needed (i guess it is

when you upload, the package get's checked by lintian (it may, but i think not
even this is done, not sure though, but i submit loads of package with bogus
lintian errors (the ones about unkonwn ocaml script and not striiped
