One minor thing here,
I do not know if there is a specfic OCaml policy in Debian, but would not
be better to name this kind of packages ocaml-*? atd seems to short and
there is a potential for namespace conflicts and confusion that would be
avoided with something like 'ocaml-atd'. That would also help when
browsing with package managers.
Same applies to other OCaml packages in the same ITP run.
