At least i think so.
Marshall-ed data are binary-independ : "The format for the byte sequences is compatible across all machines" So they should be in /usr/share (at least If we want to folle FHS) but this true "for a given version of Objective Caml." So those file must be rebuild for every ocaml version change, and placed in a directory related to Marshall ABI version. So for now, we need to reupload cameleon, and it should be noted as an exception for binNMU when we upload new version of ocaml.
