It should, and it's so easy to add this support that I suggest you to have a try. You just need to write the META file, you can look at several examples in other ocaml libraries or directly in the findlib documentation. If you still need help just ask on d-o-m > 2.

You should split additional packages for them: probably just a "biniki" package with both applictions will be ok. > I've got some preliminary packaging going.

Look at d-o-m archives, IIRC Perl4Caml upstream author has already volunteered to package Perl4Caml by himself and has already built some .debs. It will be great if you can have a look at the packages and sponsor their upload.
