I really don't remember if we have talked about the location of ocaml
sources distributed in the ocaml-source package.
Currently that sources are put in /usr/lib/ocaml/source, IMO is better
to put them in /usr/src/ocaml.
I've had a rapid look at the FHS, quoting from it:
4.4 /usr/lib : Libraries for programming and packages
/usr/lib includes object files, libraries, and internal binaries
that are not intended to be executed directly by users or shell
scripts.
4.8 /usr/src : Source code
Any non-local source code should be placed in this subdirectory.
Again, it seems to me that /usr/src is a better place.
Sven, if you agree with this idea, just apply this tiny patch to the
debian/rules:
--- ocaml-3.04.orig/debian/rules Wed Apr 3 16:08:09 2002

and add a file debian/ocaml-source.dirs containing:
usr/src/ocaml
Cheers.
