Do we havea debian package for it, and what does it do ?
BTW, if there is not yet a debian package, then this one doesn't count,
as far as migration is concerned.

It is as official as this patch. It was taken out of CVS.

Well, i have already two bugfixes in wait right now, altough minor ones,
as well as the potential hppa issue, but in particular i am waiting

Before doing any rash applying.
Also, ocaml is : "Too young, only 8 of 10 days old", and i will at least
like to wait for it to be a Valid Candidate, to have real information
about packages we may have missed. All my packages (except advi) are now
built on all arches and ready to enter in 6-7 days, and i suspect that
most of yours will be too in two days or so.
Cameleon is pretty messy though, but i think that it should also solve
itself out in a few days.
