Please, ... we all know that, it has been discussed as lengthy as
possible. No need to start again.
The conclusion is that it is absolutely forbidden to *automatically*
generate debian/control during build. No one has a problem with
generating debian/control before the package is uploaded to the archive.
As a matter of fact the ocaml package already do that.
We are just talking about integrating the hand made way used in the
ocaml package with the CDBS way of doing that, for people interested in
using CDBS.
Nothing else.
Cheers.
