Most of the libs do not provide shared versions. I think it is fine

Or simply not ship it.

That's what I intend to do.

OCamlCVS and OCamlmake-o-matic are tools, not libraries.

Stefano, since you already packaged some bits of cameleon, would you like
to be co-maintainer on it?
I can see if we can store the debian directory in Debian CVS, hence
we could work in team.
I can propose a first version of the packaging we would work on.

I'm interested in integrating this.
