Package: dh-ocaml Version: 1.1.3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The dh_ocamlinit helper script indiscriminately processes all the files with the .in suffix that are present in the debian/ directory. However, it may happen that such files have whatsoever nothing to do with OCaml. I was recently bitten by this bad behavior of dh_ocamlinit in the packaging of plplot for Debian. [1] It would be good if dh_ocamlinit only processed the files specifically designated for that processing. Perhaps only doing it for files inside a subdirectory in debian (say debian/ocamlinit/*.in)?
