Bug#815577: libcurl-ocaml: ocurl package is very out of date and lacks Lwt support

[Thomas Leonard <talex5@gmail.com>]

Package: libcurl-ocaml
Version: 0.5.3-2+b2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I've had some reports of 0install hanging on Debian/Ubuntu. I suspect this is
due to the very old version of ocurl found there:

  https://github.com/0install/0install/issues/54#issuecomment-186845945

Debian currently provides ocurl 0.5.3, which lacks support for Lwt. If ocurl
could be upgraded to the latest version (0.7.6) then I could remove the hacky
support for older versions:

Thanks,
