I vote for ocaml-mode (even if I believe that's a bit a namespace abuse
having *-mode names for emacs mode packages, *-emacs-mode would have
been better, but it seems to be a widely used convention).

Why it depends on ocaml-nox?

As Sven I'm against the transitional purpose argument. I would go for no
relationship at all (no Depends/Recommends/Suggests) from ocaml-nox to
ocaml-mode and an entry in NEWS.Debian stating that the emacs mode has
been moved to a separate package named ocaml-mode.

Many thanks for your work Jerome, really.

Cheers.
