I take the packages at people.debian.org/~luther, and upload them. These
are the ones Jerome complained about though, so it may be problematic.
They are ready and installed on my machine since a month or so though.
Basically they are the same package as the ocaml ones, just renamed to
ocaml-3.06.
The next step would be to rename all executables to -3.06 or something
such, but i would not like to do that before the 3.07 release, i think.

The problem is that the autobuilders will not play ball with this, so we
would need to build everything ourselves, and i am not even sure we can
use the debian machines for that, i don't know how the debian-admin
would feel about installing unstable packages on the testing chroot, or
create a chroot just for us, or that we could run a custom pbuilder on
them, and this doesn't even accounts for arches where debian doesn't
have machines.
