That your package will shortly appear at:
http://cdd.alioth.debian.org/science/tasks/typesetting.html

To expand on this a little. Debian science is now providing
metapackages as a means of grouping together packages appropriate to
scientists. I've added your package to one of those metapackages. 

If you are a scientist and not subscribed to
debian-science@lists.debian.org perhaps you should join.

Andreas,

I guess the appropriate field for this is: 
  Vcs-Browser: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-ocaml-maint/packages/mlpost.git

and possibly a
  Vcs-Git: 

field. 

Is it OK to add these? 
Will the tools do anything with them?
