I've done the packaging; it is available at [1]. However, I won't upload
it now to Debian, since upstream includes a modified copy of libyaml
[2], which is not reasonable IMHO (updates, security...). In particular,
the changes introduced in ocaml-yaml look simple and uncontroversial, so
I am trying to upstream these changes to libyaml [3] so that ocaml-yaml
can be built without this embedded copy.
