+
+in any case, i'm asking because we do have a policy of remove all static libs 
+(.a) and .la files. i just wasn't sure the .a files were static libs in this 
+case, or just something completely unrelated.
+
+but since the others have .so, i think they are static libs.
+
+also, usually there are versioned .so files and the .so files themselves need to 
+be in -devel; i guess it's not so for ocaml packages...

+did i accidentally reply to a br mail? i thought i put this in the bugreport, 
+but i guess i'm not sure?
