Erm, i suppose it was a lot more than a week ago, unless you are not
speaking about the same try you told me about some weeks ago.

apt-get -t unstable install ocaml hevea bibtex2html ocaml-ioxml
should do the work, if it does not, please tell us or submit bug
reports.
Alternatively, you can wait a few days that ocaml 3.06 and everything
related to it enters testing, and do the same with testing.
But then, if you insist in running only woody stuff, and complain about
possible upgrades that you don't like, you would have to rebuild
everything. It should work without problems (maybe stefano already has
everything you want in his woody repository.
Just be a bit more positive about this issue, and don't start
complaining just because you don't want to do it the way it will work.
