It seems that this is widely agreed. But I do not see this as a blocker. The reason is that apparently we have no users of OCaml (or maybe users at all ..) on the buggy architectures, otherwise the bug would have been reported before.
Well, there exists at least 1 for alpha (see the bug reports for mldonkey) :-p
Since the transition involves a lot of packages I prefer by far go ahead now to unblock a lot of packages and then reupload removing support for the missing arch. In the future transitioning would be much easier, since it wouldn't involve as much packages as now.
I have mixed feelings about this. I agree that the number of users on these archs is very low, but I don't like making exceptions for the testing distribution either. Will it really be so much work to do the upload without the archs and rebuild everything on those architectures?
Put another way, is there such a hurry to push ocaml/3.10 into testing that we should circumvent Debian policies?
