Well, i just finished building a 3.08.3 package (without the
ocaml-3.08->3.08.3 change). It builds fine out of the
packages/ocaml/branch/ocaml-3.08.3 branch.
On another side, i spoke with Andreas Barth (assistant-RM), and it seems the
release is almost at hand, with a possible freeze date around the end of
march together with the debian-installer rc3 release.
So i believe that this will make it impossible for us to make this happen in a
timely fashion for the autobuilders, so an unnoficial repository for those
packages on our alioth project would maybe be possible.
