Huh ???
Basically what i say is that you could do a dependency for a range of
versions (as we did with 3.06 and 3.06-1) and bump this range when there
is an incompatible change which forces us to bump the version number.

Well, i believe that all the problems is because of the mistake i did
with 3.06-13/14, and installing 3.06-15 on the arm box should solve the
problem. The only other problem is that the buildd should reschedule all
those built that failed because ocaml was not yet there to fullfill
these dependencies.
If there is something else, i cannot infere it from the build logs.
I asked Jones Lamont, which had the same problem on december 24 on the
hppa builds, if he did see something else.
If i don't get further info by the end of next week, i will ask
elsewhere, maybe on debian-devel as you suggest, but i will not do this
before having waited enough time and informed myself a bit more.
