Hmmm, I wonder if that is really an "issue".  Its a warning.  Moreover
in a pbuilder chroot I should not write to /usr so I'm hesitating to
simply create a directory there.  I mean

$ ocamlfind list 2>/dev/null | grep mcl
mcl                 (version: 12-068~oasis4)

has the same result as on your side - so I wonder what to do next.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
