  Description     : Provides OCaml Bindings to the Piqi Serialization Format

Piqi is a multi-format data serialization system for OCaml.
It provides a uniform interface for serializing OCaml data structures to
JSON, XML and Protocol Buffers formats.
..
This package provides the necessary programs and libraries to write OCaml
programs which use data serialized in Piqi compatible formats.

This package is useful as the primary gateway between OCaml code and
Protocol Buffer serialized data. As such, it is important to keeping those two
languages able to speak efficiently to others.

piqi-ocaml has as a dependency not yet in debian - piqi
 - ITP #761343
 - RFS #761486

My hope is that long term maintenance could be supported by the OCaml Team.
