Mmm, too late i guess you already left for vacation.
I will try to upload the ocaml package today or tommorow then.
(BTW, i was going to suggest you upload it with a dependency on ocaml
(>=3.04-14), so it can get build but would be useable only if ocaml is
there.

Mmm, did we not speak about putting user installed stuff into
/usr/local/lib/ocaml/stublibs ? and keeping the /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs
for the debian packages.
I know there were some doubts about the usability of this, but the
longer i think about it, the more i feel it is best to separate the
stuff (and it would be more policy compliant also).
