For what is important, I totally agree with hijacking the package to git/d-o-m. I think Mike Furr is MIA for now, just explain that we hijack the package waiting mfurr to come back. I do however disagree with point 4. OMake is used by some people, like Jane Street, so there is at least some user around. Unfortunately, I don't have time/interest to fix the bug. Maybe an intermediate "just remove for lenny" should be enough. Regards, Sylvain Le Gall -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-ocaml-maint-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
