Let's clarify this a bit more: ubuntu has a huge set of ocaml packages, that makes it appear a wonderful platform for ocaml development. Unfortunately in ocaml you need to build dependencies in the right order, because - if I recall this correctly - depending libraries store an hash coding of the ancestor in the dependency graph, and refuse to load if this does not match. Thus, we currently have in ubuntu a huge set of packages that just can't be used, and one tipically resorts to a local installation of ocaml. This is surely unwanted, thus if David identifies a set of packages that would work, please accept an exception to freezes and ship a working set of packages in intrepid. Ocaml is a great language but currently has a small user base which means few on-time reports for ubuntu. Perhaps the right thing to do is to invent a way to build dependencies in order on build servers?
