Seconded. It is in principal a good idea to split off a package with
debian-ocaml packaging specific stuff, but let's do that after the
transition. If memory serves me right ocaml transitions never went
as smoothly as we had imagined it in the beginning, and we shouldn't
complicate this even further without need.
BTW, I would put "debian" somehere in the name of the package, for
instance debian-ocaml-support or ocaml-debian-support.
