If so, then this is a bug in libounit-ocaml-dev, which doesn't respect the
ocaml policy. I think it has a dependency on ocmal >= 3.08 or something.
Since :
ounit depends on ocaml >= 3.08 but testing has 3.07.2a-2 (unstable has 3.08.0-2)

So this should not be possible.

Yes please, but i don't think this will be a problem, still iounit is not
respecting the ocaml policy, and should be fixed, so a bug may be in order.
Notice that this doesn't seem to include binary packages like advi and
spamoracle, which i wonder why they are not listed by bjorn's script.
