I wonder if this should be packaged apart, or together with the other ocaml-written package related code, namely ara.

I am CCing this to debian-ocaml-maint mailing list, where all debian related folk interested i ocaml dwell. Maybe comments will come from there, and i will try to test and reply more in details later this week, as i am soon going to the Solutions Linux forum in Paris, and am not sure i will really have time for testing this kind of stuff until next WE.
