Ok, i am currently uploading it :
luther@iliana:~/debian/ocaml/3.07$ dpkg -c ocaml-source_3.07-1_all.deb
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2003-10-01 14:12:52 ./
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2003-10-01 14:12:41 ./usr/

-rw-r--r-- root/root 1896059 2003-10-01 14:12:51 ./usr/src/ocaml-source.tar.bz2

And ocaml-source.tar.bz2 unpacks into ocaml/ocaml-3.07 ... Mmm, this is
not nice, i suppose that just ocaml or just ocaml-3.07, maybe the latest
would have been better, i will fix it.
The nice thing about doing it this way, is that you can use bzip2, and
thus save around 450K in the package size :)))

Well, they should be, i did a find . in a cleanly unpacked tarball, and
removed by hand all directories, .cvsignore, .depend and mac/win32
stuff. I guess we need none of them, not sure about the .depend though.

What was the exact problem ?
Also, maybe if i built the ocaml-source _before_ building the rest of
the stuff, it would be better, don't know. I will most certainly not use
the full upstream tarball, and as said, it would be best to remove all
need for the sources, but shipping the compilation result when needed,
or duplicating the source files.
