OK cool, thanks for the pointer.
So, no objections if I go and upload 4.03.0 again with a new "ocaml-best-compilers" real package?
Depends: ocaml-native-compilers [amd64 arm64 armel armhf hurd-i386 i386 kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64 lpia powerpc ppc64 ppc64el sparc s390x] | ocaml-interp [!all of the previous]
