Sorry, the correct URL is http://bugs.debian.org/107086
| I would recommend having sml-nj removed from the distribution. The build
| system is horrendous (and betrays its research origins; it actually assumes
| that the location in which you are building it is the location in which it
| will finally live (the Debian package uses a horrendous hack to have the
| binaries live in a sane location)). I really don't have the motivation to
| fight with the build system anymore, as I'm no longer taking classes which
| use the language.
