I was looking at ocaml-tmk, this morning. I won't consider to package
it, because i think upstream is unresponsive. But i would really
appreciate to have a fork that only contains the curses binding (and not
the tmk things). If Richard is willing to do the fork i will consider to
package it (given the fact that i have been quite busy with many things
including real life stuff).
FYI, i will do a round of "package and upload" to debian someday between
now and september.
