Automagically handled by the emacs stuff that just broke. The idea is
that the ocaml packages put the emacs source in a directory and
registers himself, and then, the different emacs flavors either
byte-compile them immediately if installed, or byte-compile them when
being installed.

Well, i know at lest that Jun use debian, and maybe Maxence too.
As for a CVS version, well, the idea is to ship sarge with ocaml 3.07, i
think we have the time for this, given Xavier's schedule and the current
state of things in debian, so i will try to do a cvs-snapshot packages
(would be easier if it where not parallel installable).
