Package: ocaml
Version: 3.11.2-2

I realise I need a Caml compiler.  So I say

  $ sudo apt-get install ocaml
  ...
  Need to get 25.7 MB of archives.
  After this operation, 87.2 MB of additional disk space will be used.

The package is pulling in the Caml documentation, ledit, two different
Caml modes for Emacs, and even CamlP4.  Kinky.

  $ sudo apt-get install ocaml-core
  ...
  Need to get 63.7 MB of archives.
  After this operation, 227 MB of additional disk space will be used.

Caml *core* is three times larger than plain Caml?  That's depraved.

  $ sudo apt-get install ocaml-base

This doesn't install a Caml compiler, it installs a Tcl interpreter
instead.  Perverts.

  $ sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends ocaml-nox

Oh, I should have thought of it earlier.

P.S. Seriously, folks, I am grateful for the Debian packaging of Caml.
     No offense intended, even when I called you perverts.

Precisely. You should have set your apt preferences correctly.
