Package: libextlib-ocaml-dev
Severity: normal

Nativecode library is compiled without debugging information. This results in problems
when call chain contains functions from the library (including the cases when exception
is raised inside this library) - in some cases backtrace is wrong or not available at all,
see http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=5074

The same argument could probably be made for any OCaml native library,
but the OCaml packaging policy currently specifies -g only for
bytecode libraries.  Is there any reason not to extend that to native
code libraries too?


I'm personally not against such change.
