What about a medium-priority debconf question asking if you want to have omlet
or not ? Defaulting to no. I guess the omlet.vim can go into
/usr/share/ocaml-tools amd a symlink be installed if the user respond yes to
the question.
The fact that this is a medium priority question will make it show up only in
expert mode, and it will default to your proposed behavior in high priority
mode which is the default.
