There are two different questions here for the case that both
ocaml-mode and tuareg-mode are installed on a system:
1) how can a user overwrite the default behaviour,
2) how can a system administrator change the default behaviour.
When we discussed the two packages some time ago I was thinking of
the first question. For this, it should be sufficient to explain
in the README of ocaml-mode how a user should change his load-path.
Concerning the second: Maybe put a symlink from 52ocaml-mode to
50ocaml-mode ? This way ocaml-mode would be loaded twice but IMHO
this is a minor inconvenience. It would solve the problem with upgrades
which Remi has pointed out.
In the current version in svn the README of tuareg-mode reads:
tuareg-mode is now automatically loaded on all files with filename
extension .ml\w?. If the debian package "ocaml-mode", which provides
an alternative emacs mode for (O)Caml files, is installed together
with the tuareg-mode package then tuareg takes precedence. Users who
wish to overwrite this behaviour should consult the instuctions given
in the file /usr/share/doc/ocaml-mode/README.Debian.
