Bug#467563: camlp5 strict vs transitional

The request is still applicable; the suggested solution is poor. A given piece of software may wish to use both strict and transitional versions on different components. A better solution is to build it both ways and supply /usr/bin/camlp5 for transitional, and /usr/bin/camlp5-strict for strict (y

Bug#564874: manpages: Please ship ld.so manpage

Package: manpages Version: 3.23-1 Severity: normal The current ld.so manpage is from glibc. It's gratuitously out of date and just plain wrong in places. The one in manpages is current and reasonably accurate. Please arrange for the version from manpages to be shipped instead of the glibc version.
