Hi Ralf,

Done.  Here's the MR:

  https://salsa.debian.org/ocaml-team/tuareg-mode/merge_requests/1

Please note that autopkgtests for Tuareg require one of:

1. ocaml-mode being elpafied too.
2. a manual workaround to pull in ocaml-mode to the autopkgtestbed.

I'm also unable to confirm whether the LXC+autopkgtest cl/cl-lib fix
is needed because of this blocker.

I hope my changelog and commit history shows how easy it will be to
convert ocaml-mode to elpa-caml <- not a typo.

  https://stable.melpa.org/#/caml

Cheers,
Nicholas
