Thanks, ...

BTW, i have an urgent need for an adapted camlimage package for building the
new version of activedvi.

Well, simply by placing the corresponding name in the control file :

Package: libzip-ocaml
...

And then in rules :

        $(MAKE) install DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/libzip-ocaml-dev
        if [ -x /usr/bin/ocamlopt ]; then \
                $(MAKE) installopt DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/libzip-ocaml-dev;\
        fi

notice how i install in libzip-ocaml-dev and not camlzip.

Finally you move the stuff around for the libzip-ocaml package:

dh_movefiles -plibzip-ocaml --sourcedir=debian/libzip-ocaml-dev

The only other needed changes is the adding of the -s option to the dh_
scripts, and also a new script call :

dh_ocamlld -plibzip-ocaml /usr/lib/ocaml/zip

The rest is straightforward, you will have to add a libzip-ocaml.files to list
the files to move though, and you also need an libzip-ocaml.dirs and a
libzip-ocaml-dev.dirs.

Now, notice the source for camlzip stays camlzip.

the delay will still be there though.

Yes, ...

BTW, there is a new version of camlzip in incoming, with a few changes (mostly
dependencies though).
