Ah?

So what sits in the main packages of libraries (e.g., in ocaml-facile as 
opposed to ocaml-facile-devel) then? Don't only shared libraries belong in 
the main package?

So I take back my comment that the OCaml stack is properly packaged. ;-) 
That sounds like almost as much of a mess as Go and Rust then.
