Hi Romain,

I am busy packaging ocaml-ffmpeg so that I can include it as a 
dependency. I just haven't had much time lately to continue with it.

Unfortunately I cannot link against ocaml-ssl, as it depends on openssl.
The OpenSSL license is incompatible with the GPL:

Do you mean against?

Unfortunately I won't be able to get the new 1.3.5 version packaged in
time for Buster, but I will work on it once Buster has shipped.

Cheers
Kyle
