No at all.
i just installed debian on my plug computer (arm-prozessor). when i
try to install unison aptitude always wants to install x11 as
dependency (its a dependency of ocaml-base). is it really needed to
have ocaml-base as dependency for unison?
Excellent question, and answer is: this is a bug
Please fill a bug report against unison package, with a copy of this
mail.
If you are using stable, I recommend you to rebuild unison replacing
DEB_DH_GENCONTROL_ARGS += -VF:OCamlInterpreter="ocaml-base-$(OCAML_ABI)"
by
DEB_DH_GENCONTROL_ARGS +=
-VF:OCamlInterpreter="ocaml-base-nox-$(OCAML_ABI)"
in debian/rules

ps: if you are using unstable, you will get updated package in the near
future.
