  Well, I don't need native compilers to build the package, so
  build-depending on such a package may not help at all.
  Furthermore, I don't know how autobuilders behave when some
  dependencies are unmet: is the package not considered for
  the given architecture or is it considered as a failure?

  BTW, native compilers run on:
 
  ocaml-native-compilers | 3.04-13 | unstable | alpha, arm, i386, powerpc

  I've seen many more supported architectures in ocaml CVS (ia64, parisc),
  where have they gone ?
