ocaml-source: /usr/src what?



This is the content of the latest ocaml-source package:

  zack@fistandantilus:/usr/src$ dpkg -L ocaml-source
  /.
  /usr
  /usr/src
  /usr/src/ocaml
  /usr/src/ocaml/ocaml-3.08
  /usr/src/ocaml-source-3.08.tar.bz2
  /usr/share
  /usr/share/doc
  /usr/share/doc/ocaml-source
  /usr/share/doc/ocaml-source/changelog.gz
  /usr/share/doc/ocaml-source/copyright
  /usr/share/doc/ocaml-source/changelog.Debian.gz

It includes the tarball and an empty /usr/src/ocaml/ocaml-3.08
directory. In spite of that, untarring the tarball we obtain a
/usr/src/ocaml-3.08 directory:

  zack@fistandantilus:/usr/src$ tar tjf ocaml-source-3.08.tar.bz2 | head -4
  ocaml-3.08/
  ocaml-3.08/asmcomp/
  ocaml-3.08/asmcomp/alpha/
  ocaml-3.08/asmcomp/alpha/emit.mlp

One of the two should be changed: we change the tarball such that it
install stuff in /usr/src/ocaml/ocaml-3.08 or we remove that useless
directory. I'm for the latter, it's just a matter of emptying
debian/ocaml-source.dirs in the ocaml package.

Cheers.
