Fair enough, but history tells us that we don't need to update the
debian policy very often. We survived with a really out of date policy
for months and noone complained. Now we have a valuable document, but I
doubt we will need to change it very often. Perhaps just rebuilding it
from time to time would be good -- so that the version will get updated
--, but if we manage to automate that in the rebuilding process of the
debian-policy package I think we will be more than fine.

That would be a problem IMO. Stuff in debian-policy is, in my idea,
considered *the* official packaging guide(s) of Debian. Having OCaml
policy there would be a plus for us.
Otherwise we can keep it in the ocaml package, I don't see the need to
fork a ocaml policy package.
Cheers.
