It seems you didn't understand me. As you're not alone, I guess I wan't clear 
enough..

I just meant to backports the current ocaml in sid, which is the same as in 
testing, 3.10.1-1

At the moment, the ocaml in backports.org is 3.10.0, so this actually means to 
do the transition as for testing previously, but for backports.org. To me, it 
simply means "backport the current testing state to backports.org", sorry if 
I was not clear.

Well, there are some need to ask, since it seems important to upload each new 
dependant packages after its build-dep are all built. So far, I didn't see 
any attempt to rebuild a previously failed build on experimental.d.n, 
allthough it builds without problem with a chroot. Are there some binNMU on 
backports.org by the way ?

So, this also meant to coordinate new uploads to backports.org in case of a 
new ocaml version uploaded there.
