Mmm, but you are aware that the delay only count from the package upload
time.

Well, but the packages currently in sarge are obsolete 3.04 ones, which
are even older than the ones currently in woody (i have ocaml 3.06-14 in
woody, but only 3.06-12 in sarge). Do you really believe people still
use that, and not your woody backports or (now) the unstable versions
instead ?
Also, i want ocaml 3.06 in testing as soon as possible, and it is old
back by a zillion other stuff (like a freetype RC bug, or the new
version of postgresql). Would it be that problematic to remove those
libraries that are not able to enter testing, this will not remove them
from users machines, and they will enter testing again when they are
ready.
Anyway, i doubt those package are different from the ones in woody right
now, so there is no real loose to the users.
