Sure. I forget to mention that Julien and me came to the conclusion that
having only a Suggests: on the ocaml part for this libgraphvizN-dev
package would be acceptable, since its primary goal is to build C stuff
against graphviz, and a secondary goal is to provide the OCaml
development files. Putting a sentence about that in the long description
would probably dissipate any doubt in users' mind.

That would be another option if you don't second the idea described
above which satisfied Julien & me. :)

Thanks again for your time. I'm sorry it's so lengthy but OCaml sounds a
bit weird to me. :)
