I just uploaded into the tools section of our svn archive a (quiet
trivial) script to check for available packages that depend on
ocaml(-base)(-nox), or on a particular version therof:

show-ocaml-depends <ocaml-version>

In the output for 3.07 I see only two non-regulars of this list:

  Package: planets
  Maintainer: Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>
  Depends: tk8.4, ocaml-base-3.07

Martin has uploaded a version for ocaml 3.08 yesterday evening -> fixed

  Package: ara
  Maintainer: Thomas Schoepf <schoepf@debian.org>
  Depends: ocaml-base-3.07

This package has a Serious bug fixed in NMU since 297 days! This
package may be abandonend, and may require another NMU to update
for 3.08. I'll file a serious bug for this against ara, and
anounce a NMU if this is not fixed one week from now. However, since
I will be on vacation then, someone else has to do the NMU if
necessary next week.

-Ralf.
