* Dependencies between packages:
I've recently changed some dependencies [1], after talking with the list [2].
Still there are some build failures [3]. In this example, the build
dependencies are resolved while trying to minimize the packages pulled from
backports.org.
Hence, ocaml-compiler-libs is pulled from etch, which itself pulls ocaml
3.09.2-9 which turns out to be incompatible with the ocaml-nox from
backports.org, installed as a forced versioned dependency.
The same issue happen for experimental.
My opinion on this is that build dependencies for packages using both
ocaml-nox and other incompatible packages should be versioned for all of
them, but perhaps it is also possible to add lines in the form of:
Conflicts: xxx (>>${binary:Version}), xxx (<<${binary:Version})
in the control file from ocaml source package, where necessary..
