Bug#599215: Homonymous modules that will conflict in META makes dh-ocaml choke.
Package: dh-ocaml
Version: 1.0.0~6
Severity: normal
I've been working on an OCaml-Python binding. An I'm currently trying to create
Debian packages for it. As Python may have multiple binaries for different versions
of the interpreter, from 2.4 to 3.2, I'm trying to generate automatically packages
libpython2.4-ocaml-dev to libpython3.2-dev.
As it would impossible to load simultaneously two different versions of the python
interpreter shared library, it seems natural that these different packages conflict
in META files (not in Debian's control file).
However, there will be, in each of these libpythonX.X-ocaml-dev packages, an
oCamlPython.cm[xo] binary/bytecode, without the oCamlPython.cmi file. This is to
be able to load statically the interpreter. Much like the lablgtk.init findlib package.
I would not like to be able to rename the oCamlPython files upstream (although I will
presumably be forced to). Keep in mind that they cannot be loaded simultaneously because
of the META file conflict. The problem is that dh-ocaml fails with
dh_ocaml -s
E: Error: unit OCamlPython exported in libpython3.2-ocaml-dev v0.90-2 but already exported by libpython-ocaml-dev v0.90-1

which is quite a pain.
Debian packagin can be found at:

(when it's online...)
(BTW: Using Stéphane Glondu's 3.12 repo for doing everything, in the doubtful case that it may help.)
