I could have done that manually, but I tried to keep the layout as 
consistent as possible with the one done for inotify, which did not 
incoporate such a manual creation of directories.

The issue came from the clean:: double-colon targets, for which the 
order is relevant. The order of the includes on the webpage

http://pkg-ocaml-maint.alioth.debian.org/ocaml_packaging_policy.html/a502.html

is not the same as the one use in inotify.
