Done downloading the web version:
pkg-ocaml-maint/policy/trunk/ocaml_packaging_policy
Please perform next modifications there [1]

Yes, it's a possibility but I would like to avoid committing all
upstream sources each time a new release comes out. This is for me one
of the major disadvantages with other tools such as cvs-buildpackage.
Anyway I guess that ocaml package has a lot of changes to upstream
sources and switching to dpatch require a bit of time. I can perform the
migration if you like, but only if you next decide (and if you like) to
use SVN and dpatch otherwise is useless ...

Fine thanks, I've also met Jerome, Ralf and other local DDs at a First
Jeudi meeting; if you have a week end or so to travel to Paris we will
be glad to meet with you.
Cheers.
[1] Just a reminder because you haven't yet played with SVN:
- checkout (create a "trunk" dir in your current dir containing the
policy)
svn co svn+ssh://pkg-ocaml-maint.alioth.debian.org/svn/pkg-ocaml-maint/policy/trunk
- modify and commit as with CVS
(but using "svn" command instead of "cvs" :-PPPP)
- subversion use an hidden ".svn" directory instead of a "CVS" visible
one so beware not to include that directory in the ocaml package
