   What about the library?

You mean camlp5.cma and its variants? They differ between strict
and transitional modes and their name is hardcoded in the
Makefile as well. There might be some objects which are
identical, eg. /usr/lib/ocaml/camlp5/diff.cmx but finding that
out will be a non-trivial task. 

We probably need two different library directories, eg
/usr/lib/ocaml/camlp5-strict and
/usr/lib/ocaml/camlp5-transitional.


What about having two source packages sharing the same upstream
source? Is this possible in Debian?

Bye,
