Well, it still is a bug in unstable, even if we (the ocaml maintainers)
know that it is only transitory. I have already tagged the bug report as
"pending" and the RM has tagged it as "sid" , but I don't think it should
be closed until a new liblablgtk2-ocaml is uploaded which is
installable with ocaml-* from unstable.
