Dear release team,
I'd like to request a freeze exception for binutils-mingw-w64; it
currently (needlessly) conflits with mingw32-binutils, which prevents
apt-get from handling mingw32-ocaml upgrades properly (#662746).
The diff is as follows:

+ * binutils-mingw-w64 doesn't conflict with mingw32-binutils so remove
+ the relationship (helps with #662746).

This is necessary but not sufficient to fix #662746, which is why I
don't close the bug in the changelog. (A full fix also requires adding
a Breaks/Replaces relationship to mingw-ocaml on older versions of
mingw32-ocaml.)
Regards,
Stephen
