Well James Troup contacted me too as you can see from the To: field of
the mail :-)

I've already sent him a mail asking for more information on the subject,
basically about the reason behind his mail, because a "please don't use
virtual build dependencies" message isn't really self-explaining :)
I'm still waiting for an answer ...
I suggest to wait just another day or two and then go for another
revolution getting rid of all virtual build dependencies, both on ocaml
package and between libraries.
BTW, wait just a bit more patching the policy with my latest patch, we
will probably have to restate hit in term of versioned dependencies for
the 'build-dep' side.
Cheers.
