== Packages failing because of missing camlp4o ==

Quite some packages faile because camlp4 has been moved from ocaml-nox's Build-Depends to
Recommends. The Ocaml team has tightened their Build-Depends and wants the Packages
rather B-D on caml4p directly:

09:34 <smimou> hi
09:35 <abi> as of the recent rebuild sid/x86 about ~10 packages FTBFS because of missing camlp4o, do the packages have to Build-Depend on camlp4 or would it make more
            sense to move it from the Recommends to Depends in ocaml-nox?
09:35 <abi> i just wonder if i should file the bug for the packages or ocaml-nox
09:36 <smimou> well I think that we should tighten our build-deps instead
09:37 <smimou> we have already started doing this
09:37 <abi> ok, so im going to file the bugs against the packages rather than ocaml-nox?
09:37 <smimou> yes, please
09:38 <smimou> camlp4 is quite a big package so I'd rather avoid ocaml depending on it
