ppx_jane is a sort of meta-package depending on many Jane Street's ppx
rewriters. Jane Street tend to release many small packages. Those are
generally easy to debianize, but it often happens that they must be
updated in lockstep. That and their number make their maintenance
impractical.
Installing ppx_jane in a clean opam environment brings 24 packages that
are not in Debian. All of them except octavius are Jane Street packages
versioned v0.14.x. Packaging (and maintaining the packages) sounds like
a big effort, at least with the way we do things at the moment. But
things certainly could be improved.
Cheers,
