Yes, that would need a dedicated ocaml deb with the patch applied.

DFSG are about software, not about protocols or algorithms. The
EDonkey support in mldonkey is free software so it has nothing
to do with non-free.
The main question is about whether anyone has the right to
reverse-engineer edonkey and to write software for that
analysis. The software would then go to non-us or even no go
anywhere if it does include edonkey support.
