Dependencies between libraries are better handled through normal >>, >=, ... constraints in debian/control file. Is more painful for the maintainer but really more flexible and easy to remember in the long run. My md5sum tools could help in kowing where a library is going to break other libraries. So, libfoo-ocaml-<ocaml_version>[-dev] should be enough. Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -- Master in Computer Science @ Uni.
