My appologies.

I did a 'dpkg -s ocaml' and it reported it as non-free/devel.  I don't
know why it is reporting that for 3.06.  It doesn't on another machine
that I have.

If I know how to reproduce this, it might be a problem with dpkg.
Should the package move to the new section when a new version comes out?
