I have already set Programming/OCaml for doc-base section in the
auto ocamldoc generator + template.

I am asking myself, if it is not the right time to split CDBS/policy
stuff into ocaml-support package.
We could do it into 2 ways:
1) split and add "depends" from ocaml-XXX to ocaml-support (ocaml-XXX =
packages where stuff has been removed due to the split)
2) split and let package using (mainly CDBS) stuff splitted add depends
on it.
1) is straight forward and should be done easily, except that there
should be no ocaml script in the package. 2) allow to have an
ocaml-support package with ocaml things in it, but require patching
every package that will use it...
What do you think of this split ?

Sylvain Le Gall
