Well, in fact, i also consider directly dropping from archive, BUT:
* popcon of 60 is in fact a good score for ocaml package (i check, there
  is package that are really lower than that)
* upload to the archive is quite recent
* it seems to continue building with OCaml 3.10.0

I think we should adopt it, in the name of d-o-m and fill a RFH.
