Ok, that is what i was waiting to hear.
Please tell me why it is a hack ? It is just the same package with a new
name, so it can go into testing. Additionnally, all ocaml packages
should depend on the -3.06-1 variation and thus will be as happy with
the true -3.06-1 packages as they were with the virtual ones. No change
on is required on either the other ocaml packages or for the user. The
user will not see this package anyway, until i upload the ocaml 3.06-16
package that is.

Well the only two alternatives are really :
o We forget about the mini-freeze and all the work it has implied, and
compromize our chances of having 3.06 in sarge. At least this would
imply an effort equal to the mini-freeze later on.
o We don't move and wait for other to fix the postgresql/libvorbis
bugs. You notice that nobody has answered the postgresql call for help
on debian-devel, so i don't suppose this bug will be fixed anytime
soon.
