It is just that Debian uses a different documentation management system to Ubuntu. The 'master index' of documents is a different format and goes in a different place: Ubuntu is using Yelp, and some kind of weird thing different from Debian -- I found this out when trying to install my own Debian package on Ubuntu -- the documentation conformed to Debian but didn't come up in the Yelp help index.. but the Ocaml documents DID come up. Because Ubuntu repackaged them I guess. I also had to supply 'omf' files which for GtkSourceView to lex Felix code -- not sure if that's standard for Ocaml on Debian or not (but the files seem to exist on the Ubuntu system). There are probably more differences -- the most important one is probably Ubuntu's heavy approach to internationalisation. -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sourceforge dot net>
