So you cannot have both installed at the same time.

Well, it is a decision i made, so you could choose to install just ocaml if
you want.

I am ready to discuss this decision though, if you think there are good
reasons why not to do it so. (but then it being strange is not a good enough
reason :)))

Yes, there are 4 faulting manpages, which i or someone will have to write, and
3 warnings, 2 of which are about rpath in the dlls, but i don't know what
there is about this. I will need to discuss this with upstream, or maybe
someone on the debian-caml list has an idea of what is going on about it and
could explain it to me. Anyway, it is an error and not a warning, so it should
not be a major problem.

The last warnionng is about the ocamlheader, which i should add to the ocaml
lintian override file.
