If you made a debian repository on alioth, i propose to rebuild ocaml
package for arch i386 ( it was a big problem for me last time, because
i386 wasn't build in unstable, because of latency with lablgtk ).
I think that we should try to build the whole stuff in this repository
and wait to have finish. If we succeed, we could think of doing a
progressive upload to unstable ( ie : first ocaml, then lablgtk, then X,
then Y... where Y build depends on X ).
I think i will have enough time to build things this WE or next week.
Kind regard
