Thank you josch! So what is the best way forward here? Is it worth us waiting for apt-cudf to be fixed?
To answer Ralf before, no ocamlbuild does not strictly *need* a build-depends on ocaml-best-compilers. But it is nice to do this - especially since we are recommending this in the OCaml packaging guide - and it has helped us find a bug. :)
However if it will take too long to fix, then I could change this to ocaml-nox (>= 4.03.0) instead, temporarily just so that ocamlbuild enters Debian and we can proceed with the already-late transition.
