The md5 checksum of the files /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50ocaml{-nox}.el,
as installed on my system (I never touched them), is :

% md5sum /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50ocaml*el
a6939e717c2ca074f685d6f834fd44f8  /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50ocaml.el
a6939e717c2ca074f685d6f834fd44f8  /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50ocaml-nox.el

Hence, you could just hard-code this value into the postrm file,
something like (you have to truncate the output of md5sum
to make it work):

if md5sum /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50ocaml.el =
			a6939e717c2ca074f685d6f834fd44f8
then rm /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50ocaml.el
if md5sum /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50ocaml-nox.el =
			a6939e717c2ca074f685d6f834fd44f8
then rm /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50ocaml-nox.el

Or am I missing something?

-Ralf.
