Oh joy, we become dependent on the whole KDE mess now :/

Notice that the best way to handle ocaml related packages is to become part of
the ocaml team on alioth, and check it into the ocaml svn repository, so
people can review it from there.

What is it you are speaking about here ? The ocaml abi (virtual) dependency ?
This is no worse than embedding the C++ abi number in the KDE library names,
even i believe a bit more elegant, so should be ok. I feel that there should
even be a way to pre-process the control and other files, abd get the abi
number at build time from the output of ocamlc -version. Let me try this out
later today on the ledit package for example.

There is also the #debian-ocaml-maint irc channel on freenode, altough it is
not very active.
