all packages of mine enter testing except the followings:
- camlidl (it was to young, it was uploaded only 6 days ago)
- meta-ocaml, i.e. the meta package _source_ that generates ocaml-core
and ocaml-libs meta packgaes _binaries_ (it has unsatisfiable depends
on various archs, because for example camlidl isn't yet in testing)
Just wait and these packages will enter testing.

try to contact directly the release manager or the testing guys.

you don't need a physical testing box, just look at the following files:
- ftp://ftp.debian.org/dists/testing/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz
if a package exists in this list, it entered testing, otherwise it
doesn't
- http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/update_excuses.html
lists the reason why a package did not enter testing, you can parse it
using sgrep as follows:
sgrep -o '%r\n' "\"<li>\" quote \"</ul>\" \
containing \"Sven Luther\"" update_excuses.html
anyway ocaml seems not to be listed this time, so go and ask the
tesing guys
- buildd.debian.org
list the result of compilation of packages on various arch, you can
see there if ocaml compilation goes wrong somewhere
Cheers.
