I'm trading off usefullness of the fix with cleanness [ it this word really exists in an english dictionary ] ot the package. Do you agree with me that the user base affected by the problem after woody + 1 is really tiny, if not empty? Then, why keep this trick forevere? We have the bug now and I've seen few people arguing about it, moreover the bug isn't directly seen by the user, he can safely continue in compiling and using other ocaml related apps without even knowing that it have a bugged ld.conf. _We_ want to solve the bug because we hate a useless entry in ld.conf (those damnet computer scientist guys! :-) > Mmm, does adding a dh_ocamlld -r do the thing we want ?
