I started to look at the dh_ocaml branch of pxp as a model for how to
update syslog-ocaml.

First question: it calls "dh_ocaml -p libpxp-ocaml-dev" -- isn't the -p
argument unnecessary, since it only produces a -dev package?

Second question: is there a command or script to put package
directories into svn-buildpackage layout (build-area/, trunk/,
upstream/)?  Or should I just do a bunch of "svn mkdir" and "svn move"
commands? (I saw the svn-inject command, but in this case the package
is already in SVN, but in the wrong layout.)
