No, not yet - except I did rebuild libfindlib-ocaml and that works. Also I upgraded my opam "system" switch and that all worked. I only have a few programs in that, though.

I haven't done a transition myself before, I don't really know the process and it would be good if other people could guide/help with it.

I fixed this in https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-ocaml-maint/packages/ocamlbuild.git/commit/?id=4df02c1e1d6025469c42e653cba30481b1499366

I had "ocaml-native-compilers | ocaml" as a Build-Dep, but I'll replace this with "ocaml-best-compilers" now that I know about it, thanks.
