the one inferred by dh_ocaml is enough. That was some leftover cruft from when
I did not yet know that dh_ocaml would do this kind of thing for me.

I patched (not pushed to git yet) upstream Makefile to also build and install
cmxs and cmx files. I will ask upstream to integrate that patch into their next
release.
I dont remember from where I got the splitting into libocp-indent-lib-ocaml
(with META and cma) and libocp-indent-lib-ocaml-dev (with all the rest) but now
that I search for it I can see some packages which do it that way (for example
libxen-ocaml or libatd-ocaml or libben-ocaml or libfindlib-ocaml).
Are you also saying that I do not need to create the two packages
libocp-indent-lib-ocaml and libocp-indent-lib-ocaml-dev but that only
libocp-indent-lib-ocaml-dev with all the files is enough? From reading [1] it
seems that splitting it into a lib and a dev package is only advised if a
shared library is involved which is not the case here.
cheers, josch
