You're right, the package is definitely out of date. OTOH the policy
regarding this package hasn't been defined yet. It's surely not the case
to add to its dependencies _all_ ocaml libraries since they are actually
quite a lot. It would be reasonable to define a subset of ocaml
libraries as "core libraries" and add them as dependencies of this meta
package.

I'm Cc-ing also the debian-ocaml-maint mailing list since I've already
expressing in the past my unwillingness to work on this package anymore.
If someone is willing to have a look at how to improve it fine: he can
inject it on the alioth svn and upload it as a debian-ocaml-maint
package. Otherwise I will formally orphan it soon.

Thanks for the report
(which helps in keeping track of what has to be done).
Cheers.
