Thank you for taking care of this.

I've set you as Maintainer in the ocaml-team group on salsa. It should 
allow you to push to all packages.

It depends on the transition...

For "small" transitions (i.e. not involving OCaml itself), I just upload 
the new base package and wait for the reverse-dependencies to be broken in:

  https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/ocaml.html

Then, I upload or binNMU the broken packages, level by level.

Sometimes, when I suspect big breakage, I prepare the transition by 
recompiling on my own machine reverse-dependencies, as you seem to have 
done.

For OCaml itself, I've documented how I prepare transitions:
