The -unsafe-string switch is obsolete and will eventually disappear; its
unavailability is upstream default behavior. scilab should be fixed to
not need it (and this should be done upstream).

No.

How come this is an issue only now? The transition to OCaml 4.11.1 (the
first version with unsafe strings disabled in Debian) was done last
November...
