Not, but we don't really care, at worse we ship with what is in testing at the
moment, so ...

Well, the idea is to have all the packages in the same place, so we can do
automated rebuilds and uploads for things like that, or automated running of
scripts on the control file or something like samuel started doing (samuel can
you post your results with a little bit of explanation here ?)
Maybe you could put your packages in the collective SVN in the following way :
1) have a pkg-ocaml-maint/external dir where all externally maintained stuff
is.
2) have a dir for each package there, and it would include a script or
something pointing to where the stuff is, and possibly how to download it,
or even doing the download from it, with maybe an option for
sarge/sid/experimental packages. Where sarge/sid rebuilds may point to the
archive or something.
So we would know that the external packages are not in the repo, and have an
easy way to access them, and do automated rebuilds if needed, and it would not
be too much effort for you.
