OK OK I surrender :-) I will change my depencies to rigid dependencies
on the particular ocaml upstream version.
I remember that there were plans for allowing for additional
"uploaders" of packages. That would be helpful for ocaml packages,
since it would allow us to upgrade more easily the packages that
are compiled to bytecode.
