Package: lintian Version: 1.24.3 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
Lintian reports missing-dep-for-interpreter for many OCaml-related packages: http://lintian.debian.org/tags/missing-dep-for-interpreter.html This is because packages that need ocamlrun usually depend on a virtual package providing it (embedding the ABI version in its name). I've thought of several ways to fix this: 1. Take into account virtual packages in Dep::implies 2. Allow usage of regular expressions for dependencies in %interpreters 3. Add special case for ocamlrun before issuing missing-dep-for-interpreter Attached is a patch implementing solution 3.
