Well, the one that installs objinfo and contains the manpage. > the executable name it's ok to wait for it.

I don't remember exactly about the native code stuff, so i believe it has been accepted upstream, but you can check if you want. My intention were to make the ocaml debian patches as small as possible, and have as much of it as possible integrated upstream. Based on this, the current smallish size of the debian/patches directory is a great success. The only remaining stuff is things that Xavier would not accept for 3.07, but which may go into future CVS. > > o the libdir_version patch.

Xavier has integrated most of the stuff we had in our patch in 3.07, these two are the only remaining problems. The remaining emacs stuff will also not be necessary once 3.07 ships. As such, if you still have things that you would like to have included, it maybe is still time to have them included in 3.07, but for other things, like probably the m68k native code stuff, it can easily be added to a future debian package, and 3.07 will assuredly pick up stuff from CVS as time pass and problems are found and corrected in 3.07. I have not managed to convince Xavier to maintain a bugfix branch though. I hope this clarifies things.
