Bug#462065: lintian: check for versionned dependencies for ocamlrun interpreter



Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.42
Severity: normal

Hi,

The check for the dependencies for interpreter of #!/usr/bin/ocamlrun
scripts is currently (ocaml | ocaml-base-nox)[1]. The dependency on
these packages should be versionned since ocaml programs are ABI
incompatible between different versions of the compiler.

So, for version 3.10.0 (the current in Debian), the right dependency
should be either ocaml-base-nox-3.10.0 or ocaml-base-3.10.0 (if the program
uses X stuff), or an indirect dependency such as ocaml-nox-3.10.0 or
ocaml-3.10.0 if the program also needs the ocaml compiler.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Samuel.
