Hi Sven, I could not check intensively since installation failed with this
error message:

  prompt$ dpkg -i ocaml_3.04-6_i386.deb ocaml-base_3.04-6_i386.deb

Moreover, there are no conf files except /usr/lib/ocaml/ld.conf.orig
which is quite useless.

Other remarks:
 * Please add dh_ocamlld documentation: it can be generated by
     pod2man -c Debhelper debian/dh_ocamlld > debian/dh_ocamlld.1
 * When running ``ocaml-ldconf -h'', -n flag is listed twice, and the second
   one is inaccurate.
