Hey Ana, the reason while it has not been updated yet to 3.11 is not
that it fell off our radar, rather it is that transitions like the
current ones take some time, have a look at our status monitor:
http://glondu.net/debian/ocaml_transition_monitor.html
Actually, just today Stephane has prepared the first proposal of
binNMU round, which will fix the dependencies of facile, as well as of
many other packages waiting for that:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-ocaml-maint/2009/03/msg00138.html .
So, just wait a couple of other days and the package will be
installable again.
Thanks for the heads up.
Cheers.
