As a mere observer, but one developing a product maintained by Ocaml
maint team, and Mike Furr in particular, I think this is probably
nice because my product actually contains substantial C/C++ code
and substantial Python code .. AS WELL as Ocaml code.
With the current setup there is actually a disincentive to split
the package into multiple packages, because it would lead to
packages containing only Ocaml, only C/C++, and only Python code,
and it is a bit 'rude' for me to expect the Ocaml maint team
to handle the C/C++ and Python parts. Nevertheless the software
is fully integrated into one tarball at the moment, so the
building of the multiple binary packages needs to be done
from a single source (and all at once to ensure the
internal dependencies met)
So it would be good if a Python expert or a C++ expert could
actually be able to provide support by being able to patch
or NMU, provided of course Mike agrees.
