+OCaml Debian package
+====================
+
+In upstream OCaml, “ocamlc -custom” produces executables that cannot
+be stripped (more precisely, the bytecode, which is not part of the
+ELF data, is removed by strip). This Debian version is patched (and
+the patch has been rejected by upstream [1], but is available
+separately in debian/patches) so that the bytecode is embedded in the
+executable and can be stripped. The original behaviour is restored if
+the OCAML_COMPAT environment variable contains the letter “c”.
