Ah yes, I only thought of 2 versions of the same package,
not of one package replacing another. But I think you are right.

I tried this one yesterday. I just had to add
dh_link -pocaml-zoggy-byte usr/share/doc/ocaml-zoggy \

in the install target, hence dh_installchangelogs and others
follow links.
