I had typed up a nice long comment but for some reason I don't see it here.

GCC doesn't strip binaries.  Normally rpmbuild will do so when it creates the
debuginfo package, but it seems that it either doesn't know it needs to do this
for ocaml-produced files or doesn't know how to.  I commented out the stripping
and the unstripped binaries make it to the final package so I guess that you
have no choice.  Could you open a ticket against rpm for this?

Debian seems to be less strict than we are regarding licensing issues these
days, so simply saying that they have a package listed with a certain license is
not really sufficient.  If you have a pointer to any discussion they may have
had on this matter, that would be useful to whoever happens to read FE-Legal
tickets.

I still think it's odd that this package may produce executables, or not,
depending on some specifics of the ocaml implementation, but i guess that's not
a blockeer.

Otherwise I think this package is OK, although of course I cannot approve it
until the legal folks chime in.
