There is also the question whether our prefix-based approach is sustainable in the long run, or whether we can think of a better solution that involves less manual work.

Ah, I just saw that dh_ocamlinit supports OCAMLINIT_SED, I've used that instead and uploaded 1.7.1-2. Hopefully it will be all-green soon. :)
