Sorry, it's my fault. Even though lwt.ssl is statically linked into 
ocsigen, the findlib machinery still needs all findlib packages to be 
present. The list of built-in packages found in ocsigen_config.ml (which 
I though was removing the need for a dependency at the Debian package 
level) is used only to avoid loading the same library twice...

So indeed, there are missing dependencies to liblwt-ssl-ocaml-dev (and 
also to libocsigen-xhtml-ocaml-dev for that matter).


Cheers,
